    Interesting... those cell companies better tie up their PC based text message programs. I know of instances where both parties of messy divorces have received... how can I say... unfriendly text messages sent anonymous.

    Can't...reply...without...breaking...law...or...forum...rules..! Aaarrrrrrghhhhh!!!!




    Seriously, this thread is getting black holed for being political, right? Cos how do you discuss this without bringing politics into it?

    But thanks for the heads up; always nice to know what freedom they are taking away today.

    It will be difficult but let's try to keep politics out of this thread as much as possible, if somebody wants to start another thread in P&R that might be good.

    Well the good news is my real name AND location are right there in the upper right corner. So I can be as annoying as I want.

    Yer muther wears army boots! Yer breath stinks, and yer feet don't match!

    But seriously, folks, vague laws are bad laws. This one just begs to be "selectively enforced," as we have already seen other laws used recently. And how can I give examples without being political? That makes this LAW annoying! Whom can I have arrested?

    This won't be enforced, and like the article suggests, I'll bet this gets overruled in court.

    If something like this is ever upheld in a court, I'll be relocating.

    Whoever came up with the idea should be put in front of a firing squad and wiped from the face of the planet so they can't infect anyone else with their stupidity.

    JRV, WYO and JVBJR must have done a lot of political lobbying to get this one to pass

    How are they going to enforce this? Are they really going to start an FBI investigation to find out the true identity of some 13 year old kid who insulted someone on a message board?

    JJJJJS, so are M------- and E--- your parents....I only know their names because you posted on this forum and filled out a profile.........There's even a site I could go to which would dispatch a private investigator to follow you around for less than the cost of lunch. The internet is not totally anonymous. Just having a persons IP address could be enough.
