Robert Macy got double secret probation for
writing:

Rather than hold those responsible that 'transfer' information without
review, wouldn't it make more sense to hold the ORIGINATORS
responsible? Which means, remove anonymity. Maintain complete
tracking capability. Guess that won't work all the time either, since
there are situations where truth should surface and the person who
brings that truth forward should be protected.

Any ideas how to do all this WITHOUT government intervention? Else,
there'll be a tax to pay for the 'service' of policing the 'net.


How about we do it the easy way:

1. those who are functionally incapable of not reading that which
upsets them, leave the interwebs.

2. those who require that all messages be to their liking, move to a
moderated web board.

3. those who feel they need to control the words of others, ****
themselves with a spintered wooden spoon, then leave.

The rest of us that have a modicum of common sense will remain.
