i am glad the concept of using the threat of violence as a tool of intimidation isn't always successful. god forbid those prone to violence are irritated if they are ignored and minimized. but because they use violence when they don't get their way, everybody else better back the heck off? no. what do non-violent people get when they're irritated? oh, nothing. might makes right, huh? this goes both ways. and that's kinda the point.

What you need to find out from Skeptic, in my opinion, is if there have been any requests or demands to release your real name and/or information by government agencies or individuals recently.
If there has been, then you need to know if any of that information was released. And then act accordingly.
If it were the subject of a 'National Security Letter', SO and the site would be barred by statue from affirming or denying whether the were served with such letter or not.
However, if they WEREN'T served, then there's nothing to bar a denial, is there?

Poor Doc Velocity, he's one of the moderates here! I've never heard Doc call for violence or even to defend it. His responses are always well thought out and intelligent. He doesn't deserve being on any lists, that's for sure!
This is for you ADL
Note that they only picked posts from march 24 on ATS. Lazy bastards

Yeah but this is a report from the ADL. Defamation hardly constitutes a matter of "national security", does it?. While it may be hurtful to one's chances for re-election or their credibility and while defamation of character could even cause a loss of wages, I can't see how this would be an issue of national security. Maybe it's because it's late and I'm trying to keep one eye open right now, but I can't wrap my mind around defamation being taken to that extreme.
