Someone Wrote:Dennis signs with his real name on this board, why then should he worry about his "anonymity"???
And that goes for rational thinking at DD!!!
Apparently I am worried because some judge in Ontario doesn't think that he should follow the rule of clearly written legislation concerning search warrants in telecommunications cases involving child porn. The worst I've ever done is hurt someone's egomaniacal feelings. I try to avoid directly libeling people by offering opinion, not stated fact, unless the facts are third-party and self-evident. eg Miami-Dade County Recorder.
It is clear that some people at Degreediscussion are not comfortable with debate and they and degreeinfo clean house regularly so as to speak with one voice. This site wouldn't exist if everyone was as agreeable as the DI/DD clones.
To the Janko thing. I actually liked Janko. Unfortunately he lacked the ability to appreciate the other side of an argument as anything but irrational and to be subjected to scorn. Sure, I sparred with him and he sparred with me. I helped scour the internet matching details he mentioned to real life people and Redlyne eventually found him. It was shining a little light on anonymity but in Janko's case the roaches never scattered when the lights came on.
I don't understand the DD reasoning that DL Truth has somehow gone beyond having the right to free speech. Many of the people here thought Janko to be a lesser being during his lifetime and would be hypocritical to suddenly change their minds. They would be insulting the memory of Janko to say - yes he was a good soul. To them, he was not and is not.
