"Geoff: When you write "clandestine like support of Zionism, ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Arabs in Gaza" you really do betray yourself."

Betray myself as what? If you are going to drag out the old tired Anti-Semitic label, forget it. It is beyond true use and as such I would be proud to be called an Anti-Semite given I despise Zionistic ethnic cleansing.

Glad you raised the first peoples of the US, I am sure, like the Palestinian Arabs, they love the invasion results they live within.

Labor and the Greens will get right on that after getting rid of the plague of free speech.

David:

One supposes Mossad would be interested in silencing comment critical of the current Israeli leadership?

Particularly that protected by current anonymity. I for one have been undeniably critical of a state hardly any better in my view than the Nazis with their less disingenuous version of ethnic cleansing?

Now I know that Mossad has some interesting talent in its ranks which include some remarkably beautiful women. And given mature men can and do die of cardiac arrest during "horizontal recreation". they could send a couple over to me. A suitably large fee would probably produce my address?

And I promise as a complete hetero male, to cooperate fully and frequently with their "extraction method" even if it results in the premature demise from "natural causes" of one of the "ladies."
Cheers, Alan B.

These proposals are nothing but excuses suppressing and shutting free speech. Free speech is just to important to be comprimised to any extent for any reason.

Bombs and guns are not the only form of warfare on freedom.

Tyranny often masquerades as our protector

The best way to take control over a people and control them utterly is to take a little of their freedom at a time, to erode rights by a thousand tiny and almost imperceptible reductions. In this way people will not see these rights and freedoms being removed until past the point at which these changes cannot be reversed. – Adolf Hitler

Individual rights are not subject to a public vote. Ayn Rand

The road to tyranny, we must remembers, begins with the destruction of the truth. Bill Clinton

# To all the anonymous posters

I would not have expected anything else from anonymous responders to my article.

Interesting that no one has responded with their full name.

What then is your view regarding the following:

Would you still post anonymously if OLO imposed the following conditions:

""Comments received without a full name and verifiable address and phone number will not be considered for publication. Email addresses are NEVER published!"

Just a "yes" or "no" thanks.

Oh, absolutely not.

But only because between you and me, the guy who runs this site is a bit of a $%^&.

If you want to remove anonymity on the internet, then you had better be prepared for what will inevitably replace it.
