    Okay.

    But that same thing is true with the newspapers and magazines.

    They check.

    EVERY forum could be required to verify a person before giving permission for that person to post.

    We probably won't see this soon...but my guess is that one day, we will see it.

You don't know what kind of danger they are.
    I think that's the same person I'm thinking of. I've known her for over 20 yrs via the old parrot listservs; she's always been outspoken. But yeah, FB can be pretty nasty with that sort of thing.

    There was a discussion on a local-to-us FB page about the h.s. changing the name of the team from "Red Men" to something else due to its being offensive to Native Americans. One of my friends, who is native, got a 24-hour FB timeout for asking one of the screeching racists how would he like it if they changed the name to "White Men." FB told him it was racist. WTF. The Reichwing snowflakes are out in force.

    Our local paper back in STL required name, address, and contact phone #. They did contact you too, before printing your letter to the editor.

    It's not something that will attract people. Meaning it's not a good decision for the sake of a forum. I unwittingly used my name the first place I went and got ravaged by trolls. I just posted and that's what my name was set to on the store account it was linked to. Eventually, I learned how to change things but that was after I had my reviews on-site attacked by trolls. You can't really verify people in location or identity on these sites. Especially because of VPN addresses. A VPN address is like a P.O. box for the internet, things ping to their address online rather than to yours. People use them for identity protection.

    Our local papers did also.

    And the name-calling, flame baiting nonsense simply did not exist.

    Some people are not actually here to discuss the topics...but rather to call those with whom they are in disagreement...NAMES.

    Okay...but I am an optimist.

    I think technology can be developed to ensure that people posting are identified.

    The real problem with the Internet is that the posters are anonymous.

    But, I don't see things being changed any time soon.

    Nah, PF is still a good place to put a spike through the writings of Trumper hearts.

    Better causing mischief online then in the streets if you think about it.
