Kelly McParland nails it
…and he uses his own name, too.
I can’t believe I just wrote that. Anyway, here’s what he wrote.

Good point Warren. You are well aware that I do use my own name here despite its similarity to that of a former politician.
HA!! There are now cashiers in some department stores that take only..cash. No debit or credit..they say it speeds up the lines. And the internet is no longer a place where you can make vile and slanderous statement and claim anonymity. What’s next, teenagers walking to a friends house to talk?
That teenagers thing will never happen.
Which department store?
And why is it no one paying with plastic ever has their plastic ready when the cashier finishes totalling up their purchases?
And then, why do they not also have their AirMiles or other loyalty card ready?
Good- it’s about time something nudged the status quo on this issue.
‘Pen names’ existed long before the Internet was ever invented, and their equivalents on the Internet serve many useful purposes. If an individual makes gratuitous insults on a Web site, the administrators of the Web site must ensure that it is not published. That’s what you do, Warren. Others must as well.
So do you think you can get the Sun to stop allowing anonymous comments on their site or at least require posters to actually register and give an email address? Not only do people post anonymous comments to Sun articles, they post “black propaganda” comments using the names of real people they want to smear. Most other newspaper comment pages at least require posters to register.
I’ll raise it with them. Didn’t know that.
And of course it’s been suspected that one of their own employees did that on a certain other site, as well (and as Kady said of that, ‘Snuffleupagus deserves better than this.’)
Namesake,
