Going after someone in real life for things that are posted is
pretty absurd. If you don't like them, don't read their posts. Usenet

Wow, you sure talk tough. What, exactly, has he done that brings
you to violence? Has he hurt your feelings? Has he squashed your ego?
Did he call you a bad name? Please grow up.

Preach it, Brother! Amen!

One of the most disturbing aspects of scs is this I'm-
Gonna-Get-You-In-Real-Life nonsense...it's not a charac-
teristic I recall from other newgroups and I find it jarring.

I don't buy into the On-Line Chest-Thumper = Off-Line-
Teddy-Bear crap...to me, Oh-Line Chest-Thumper =
Off-Line Potential Lunatic. Threatening to invade some-
one's Real Life privary...to do them harm, no less...by
crossing the line between On-Line and Real Life is the
stuff of derangement as far as I'm concerned.

Seems to be a Guy Thing.
