Are they going to hunt us down through our IP addresses or what? What a waste of time and effort.

That's not trolling; that's cyber bullying and stalking. And those offenses should be met with the law.

Very true.

EDIT - I think the opponents are way over analyzing this. It's clearly designed for bullying and stalking. Kids have killed themselves over that. I think it's a pretty serious topic.

I'm quite sure I have offended and annoyed a few people here, but that's largely a matter of perception, I'd say.

I'm sure Zelstein, Frosted, or The Todd would press the issue, but I assure you, if someone attempts to take me into custody based on my internet postings, a first amendment issue might quickly become a second amendment issue.
