I do not think fairness exists- which is why it doesn't concern me (lawerly E left off that first part). You want to repeat that your "fairness doesn't concern me" post included a reference to the existence or lack of it of fairness? Because it didn't, so I didn't left it out, you inserted it, X.

I didn't ask three times! It took four! Your implication that there was peut etre inaccuracy in my report made me curious as to what that inaccuracy might be. It seems there wasn't any, though you made up an inaccuracy so as to claim the actual statement was a misquote. . Probably because I'm not concerned with the person behind the alias. That's true, you aren't. Though... oddly, you are quite concerned about CH! Hmmmm. Does your concern about CH mean that you are concerned with the people behind posts if the poster's name instead of handle is used?

I love this post. So many psychological issues, it raises. And of course philosophical. I'm going to talk about it. It's not boring. If Edwarda had posted as Monica, would you have been less hateful about her after she died? Those that cared very much that she died -- are you concerned with the ones whose names you know and not with those whose names you don't? What if you know their name but they use a handle, are you concerned then?

I recognize there are people out there, writing posts, but for me they don't matter much. That's true, they don't. But in 3D many of your friends, for example, don't matter to you much, either, do they? Except as... entertainment? Was that the word? Ring a bell? So the death of a person behind an alias is meaningless to me. You knew Monica's name. You knew a great deal about her life. You had read thousands and thousands of words written by her. And you knew that she had grieving friends who were reading your hateful words. "Meaningless" to you? I wonder if you know how odd this is. I note that you are concerned enough about what aliases say to try to get them shut down, suspended, terminated, and their posts removed if they offend you.
