Atkinson's a tosser and he'll be tossed out at the election, I suspect.

pardon my ignorance of SA politics
BUT
there may be good reasons to get some ones post code and correct name.

First a local post code will mean that you have a local interest and are effected by decisions made at local state level.

Again correct name and post code allows those reading the submissions to respond and also to collect or amass local opinion as this may differ from national opinion on any particular subject.

Not all requests for identification are malicious.

Why would you say something and then try to be anonymous or claim to be someone you are not.

IF you have anything to say EVER about anything do not be shy, say it proud and loud.

AND if you are ashamed of what you are saying perhaps you should keep your mouth closed or your keyboard silent.

Why don't you tell us, "beefyboy"?

Anonymous comment has been around as long as people have held public meetings. They allow people to express dissent without risking personal consequences due to the powers-that-be objecting. Once upon a time, when soapbox oratory was a skill required by every aspiring politician, anonymous heckling was regarded as an opportunity to make a point, both by the politician and the heckler.

Without the possibility of consequence-free comment, we have nothing more than totalitarianism.

Belly, you wrote 'Mr Wrann' 'you must understand you have acted poorly here'

How do feel about Mr Wrudd's planned censorship of the internet? I beg, yes do, Belly, that you view Wrudd's plans to be as wwrong as Wrann's.

Me, I do, yes so I do.
