These clowns aren't even worth the effort, Andrew. If someone bans and then begins to speak against you, that person is quite obviously too empty of confidence and intellectual might to stand against you honorably. Fancy it: this clown is probably a chronological adult, perhaps with children (if she hasn't murdered them), and yet she is acting like a true child. It tells us that this person lacks perspective, taking the forums much too seriously, as an adolescent would do. Responding to their posts will require you to condescend to people who are so unwashed that they can't possibly bring you anything but genuine loathing. So you'll have to go through all of the effort only to be completely revolted. The way to get at them is move onward, as if these clowns don't even exist.

Andrew, if you are in fact posting like me with your real name. It seems to me that SI admin is aiding and abetting libel of your good name by permitting cowards hiding behind anonymous label the ability to libel you with impunity. As a procedural matter, I would send SI admin a PM stating the situation and request him to instruct all on what is appropriate. I would request all message you deem libel to be removed. Failure to follow this reasonable procedure is in my opinion a gross failure of SI to properly enforce it's TOU. I also consider saying anything about some anonymous handle is really never libel as there is no real person. I'm not sure of that but that what I think makes sense. I document what was said in what I consider libel posts by emailing those messages to myself. I put a key word in the subject to filter it into a folder. Over time you can build a case showing what really happened. Also email yourself all PM's to and from on that matter.

I think some of our adversaries are simply draft-dodgers. Quite a few posters here and on the Kerry thread reveal immaturity and a woeful lack of historical knowledge. Very likely they are of draft age. For them, the number one issue is staying out of uniform. They figure (correctly) that Kerry will reduce the military as he transfers our security to the UN. The way they see it, getting Kerry elected is a better alternative than fleeing to Canada.
