the Internet was a much tamer place...

Still is pretty tame, imo.

The point is that it's probably good policy to avoid physical threats, which can have consequences if it goes too far.

The gov't is more of a threat, imo, if you've got radical political opinions, than any poster here. 99% of gov't officials are fine, it's the 1% to worry about.

BTW, one individual who crossed the line researching gov't activities wrote an interesting book on how to protect yourself called "The Professional Paranoid", highly recommended.

Another one is Catherine Austin Fitts who was fired by Bush I for exposing billions in HUD scandals (it was "run as a criminal enterprise") and was tracked, harassed and bankrupted, but is now back on track.
