Re:
There is a tradition of writing with a pseudonym in this country, most famously being the Federalist Papers. But consider also: from _E-mail Etiquette @ NetManners.com: Message Board and Forums Tips_ (http://www.netmanners.com/message-board-forum-tips.html) What about my right to "free speech" to say whatever I want where ever I want? Use of any site or message board is not a right! To participate, you will be asked to follow a few simple rules. The "freedom of speech" guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution that folks so willingly throw around many times to justify their poor behavior, only protects you from governmental intervention in your right to express yourself -- it does not give you free reign to use computer resources, paid for by others, against the wishes of their owner. ========Original Message======== Subj: [AsburyPark] Re: Rev Kev going to HELL!!!

Be that as it may, I find the hunt to out Rolemover less than OK. The Courts even recognize a person's right to post with a pseudonym because of a fear of reprisals. There is a tradition of writing with a pseudonym in this country, most famously being the Federalist Papers. To go after him to out him is on the order of harassing a whistleblower or tampering with a witness. If he or anyone else commits an act of defamation, then that's different, and thier identity can be discovered by a subpeona to Yahoo after a lawsuit is filed. I expect most of the board to disagree, but short of defamation, I'd like to respect people who wish for their identity to remain private. Not saying anyone else has to agree with me. --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com) , "theshortsalepro" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED] (mailto:AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com) , "rolemover" <rolemover@> wrote: > > > > im offering $1000.00 to see your credentials you fraud!!! > > RevKev, as you know, I work with a non profit charitable and > educational organization, [501c3] too.
