Well I never gave my name, said or did anything and was sent hate mail threatening my children (did not have any?) from the middle eastern gangs. I still like muslims but understand the hatred when the Examinators of the world suppressed the right to vent by those that had their childen raped, their homes invaded and their neighbourhoods trashed. Even those of thier own community fled. Then the suppression led to Cronulla riots and still the Fluffyworld saw the gross violaters of human rights abusers as the victims. Same now happens with the tamils. It seems some are so racist only white can be racist becase all other races are animals so not capable of racism.

Examinator hero for putting up with far less. Oh big hero. Get out there in the real streets then report lol.

Examinator has had it easy, real easy. Plus a choice they made, unlike most.

I remember living in Sydney for 8 years too many, I sat in a park in Kingsgrove and ethinc gangs slash each other with machete dressed in school uniforms. One child had his back slashed to pieces and the blood ran free. I went to to the main street and the whole street was littered with school children hacked to pieces. No real press interest. No Examinators in sight. Hush this one up, we may get accused of racism. Gag the police. Same with women and children abused in their community. Hushed up too long because it would offend the white man who does not want to be seen as racist even if it means women and children suffer abuse. Their feelings afterall are far more important.

White man gets a bad letter, white women get raped and hosed down in between seesions. Oh well as we keep white man happy and make him hero for suffering such a bad thing?

Then they say they care about Indigenous but why would allow boat people when simple illegal fisherman transfer TB to Islanders/ I am not sure you care, just for yourself and for your ego. Like Noel Pearson says a man in a Koala suit that goes home to a nice life really has no right to support the Indigenous. Afterall they have had that type of representation for decades and has not worked yet.

If you want to be an expert on humanatarian issues first you need to be a human, not a university spat out robot. Life is a whole lot different from the human side of the line.

The article sort of brings it home. I too (like others in this thread) have suffered the wrath of the deranged, the delusional, or just plain angry individual. Threatened and attempted violence (to me, my family and our property) did and still does have a sobering effect on contributing to on-line opinion forums using real names. OLO does not know who I am. Given my profile, I registered using a concoction of family names and genders. The email address I used for registering/notifications is a ‘non-person’ at a ‘domain name’ without a website. OLO would know my ISP address but so what; I am not in breach of any of OLO’s rules:

Personally, I have experienced smear by insult, innuendo and fabrication just because I use a non-de-plume. From observation here, this would not change even if I did use my real name (so why ‘out’ myself). Sure, I do challenge peoples’ ‘comfort’ zones on things I know something about; for this the retorts tar me. I use a pseudonym because their stones and spears don’t penetrate. OLO is just an ‘opinion’ site - it is the ‘opinion’ being made that matters (or not) – not the person making it, whomever that person might be, imo.

Anonymity allows for some creative thought.

Some people pursue this revealing of everyone who posts as a way of stifling debate and shutting down dissent (or disagreement with say a consensus), as then they can focus their own and others scorn and hatred.

Playing the person so to speak.

Look at the spite dished up to any AGW skeptic.
