Kentucky Lawmaker Wants to Make Anonymous Internet Posting Illegal

Tagged:  •  

Kentucky Representative Tim Couch filed a bill this week to make anonymous posting online illegal..........

here is the story: http://www.wtvq.com/content/midatlantic/tvq/video.apx.-content-articles-...

I don’t use my real name (though many people know who I am), because I don’t want retaliation against me and my family.

I’ve written a few editorials in the Blade, I’ve come home to find my answer machine filled up with some right wing nut ranting about how I’m wrong.

If I had to post everything under my real name here, I’d never post again.

Many years ago I wrote a letter to the editor of the Blade that was published. I honestly never expected people to actually look up my phone number and call my home.
Thankfully all the messages left were nice, and voiced agreement with my letter but it still freaked me out a little as a single parent.
I haven't had a publically listed phone number since then.

Considering some of the posts made here by a few of the posters I'd be fairly concerned about them knowing who and where we are.

The State of Kentucky obviously wants to know who said what, so they can reward the poster for their honesty and candor.

The representative is exactly right in saying it'll be a challenge in enforcing the law. This is virtually an unenforceable law. Politicians are ridiculously stupid when it comes to internet issues.

That will never pass/be enforceable.

We all should use our given names. I am Don Wert, the guy who took James Kirk, Spock and crew members up to warp speed time and time again while those two shared a couple of yuks in the command center. Do you think handling nuclear-fueled thrusters was a piece of cake? Think I ever got my props? I got disgruntled and left the Enterprise. I ended up at third base for the Tigers. No hit, adequate field, terrible arm, but we won the Big One in '68. Talk about where a man had never gone before. I am Don Wert, third-bagger.

I have no doubt at all that the law will pass. Let's see the government try and enforce it. What a bunch of idiots.

I wouldn't write most of the opinions I post if I had to use my real identity. I still work for a living, and all I need is for a prospective client to search the Internet and find out Mad Jack is a gun owner with an odd sense of justice and fair play.

Seriously, look what it did to Kim du Toit.

If it'd get rid of trolls forever...hmmnnn.... nah, unenforceable. By the way-this rep is not the same Tim Couch that was a bust for the browns, in case anyone was wondering.

"Oh, Bother!" Said Pooh, as he chambered his last round.

I've nothing to hide.

Being a victim of a child kidnapping, if using my real name to validate the trials and tribulations I've endured because of it and it changes the mind of one person from stealing another's child, then it was worth it.

It also reinforces the experience I've had with a "personal vendetta" by the Toledo Police chief because of that situation, so that too validates my using my real name.

I have a past, a story and a life. So do you.

I've been a victim of identity theft through the mother of my child, before the use of the internet. So I already have things in place in case it happens again, so let them try.

And in Florida, I have a law that allows me to blow you to Allah should you show up at my door with your issues. :)

I come in peace and we go on down to the Captain's AND it turns out we have more in common than different ?

I have no room for you in my life...at all.

I will be in the main dining room at Captain Hiram's next Thursday and Friday nite, say 10:00 on.

You have convinced me that the warm weather is worth the trip.
We are coming down sometime this next week for a months vacation in the area.

You will recognize us, there will be four of us at the table. Come over and introduce yourself.

Do you remember anyone that transferred from Spring School to Riverside in the 6th grade ?

surprise, surprise, surprise.

For so eloquently illustrating the reason why I prefer to post under an alias and not my real name.

I didn't care about anyone in Ms Grodi's class, but nice try.

I recall you assuming I went to Chase, but then again, your train of thought dosen't allow you to pay attention, obviously, and after correcting you, you're going to try and use that "against me" too.

But this is the exact reason people like you will never enjoy the benefits that people like me enjoy because your world is so wrapped into you being on top, no matter how ignorant you are and who you're willing to sacrifice in the process of saving face and credibility, that it's too late for stupid people like you to realize the top sometimes isn't the place to be.

Amazing how you've flopped on both, husband of dumpster.

to sit in my favorite restaurant and wait for me.

Then say he's going to be in my community for a whole month.

Then advertise it, thinking you're going to get a rise from me.

Can anybody other than me say "stalker"?

What part of "I don't have room in my life for you at all" did you miss?

Had it exactly right. This has gotten to be about safety. How does a poster happen to know all this about another poster anyway? Where they live, what their history is - where this guy's favorite restaurant in Florida is?

Stalker indeed.

I've typed out on several occassions where I've gone out with friends to my favorite local watering hole.

And seeing I had to hold this dolt's hand and correct the many mistakes this research freak had on me, it appears I've given him enough to "want me" enough to bypass more bountiful vacation destinations to bask in my presence.

But this should be the example needed to provide the proof that there are sick losers out there that want what you have because their own life sucks, as it is in this case.

And I hope you folks enjoy what I've endured, shared and exposed, because now that everyone knows the depth of his sickness, not only are his true intentions shown, it'll be easier to avoid him once his real-life identity is revealed.

And it is apparent the blogosphere can see the sick moron for who he is, so I'm not worried about the lies that he types anymore.

Nonetheless, our community greatly appreciates all your financial contributions, fruit loop, no matter how meager.

you would pay the check out of your own pocket, too.

That would be a nice gesture to your 'out of town friends'.

mi familia esta tu familia.

You use the word 'stalker' kind of loosely...

I never left my chair...

This info is on the net, you just do not know how to access it.

And/or it was offered by beano himself.

he has yet to get one thing right about me.

Mrs. Silverstein was my 6th grade teacher, dolt.

This is what I'm talking about. p-s-y-c-h-o.

because you, yes YOU have taunted us in Toledo about the temperatures there. You tell us how warm it is, and quite frankly, I am tired of all this snow, so....

I am taking my vacation in DelRay Beach again. I will be in the area, so...I am merely following up on your recommendation in re Captain Hiram's, and expect to see you there.

Don't make us come to the 208 lookin' fer ya.

P.S. Bring your fine old lady.

That Toledo was your 'hometown'?

Records bear that out, son.

You started here.

There is no reason to continue to talk about your travels, we all understand you are going to vacation and eat, but you appear to be slowly turning the thread into something else and to an outsider, you do seem to be starting to go overboard here. Please reconsider the conversation, it is not pertinent to the thread.

will be smart enough to not take the bait and maybe he will forward you the address of the Chamber of Commerce, where they can give you a good recommendation on what to see in Del Rey.

I appreciate it Chris, and thank you for the time, but until this psycho loses his internet access, I'm not going to be able to post without his demented comments.

I'm done holding this psycho's hand.

people hide behind a screen name.

I've made my point.

in Vero Beach to Captain Hiram's. I followed it up and decided to stop there on my vacation....

Besides, West Palm Beach is next to Delray beach, and I will probably be spending most of my time at the Kennedy Estate.

I just wanted to go slummin' to Captain Hiram's by invitation.

There is no reason for it but to try to cause problems.

Brian, don't respond. I will activate the penalty box again if this conversation continues.

But unless something is done with this antagonizer, I'm done posting here.

As much as I enjoy exposing this loser for what he is, I'm getting tired of the lies I'm dealing with, and with his being annonymous, it's now becoming frustrating to read the crap he types and passes off as gospel, especially seeing his facts are as empty as his head.

Now, THAT is just creepy.

Please stop.

I've said my piece. Good day.

It's not about hiding.

It's about safety.

the above post was said in jest. If new friends are made here, terrific. But the whole thing started to sound a little "Godfatherish."

El--if you really want Brian to meet you, my guess he'd be more willing to do so if you leave all your 'friends' behind.

Peace and good luck to all...

this genius is going to have the most boring and lonely vacation ever.

My thoughts of the Sylvania P.D. are that they are the most technologically advanced in the area.
They also have the respect and co-operation of every P.D. in the country. Including Indian River S/D.

Did you ever have cause to have Sylvania P.D. start a file on you ?
Coming from Galena into Sylvania ????

Do not forget the Chief influence.

Trust me, it is better for you to try to be my friend.

Friendship has been extended to you...

Make your choice.

I sat in that courtroom and watched the beloved former police chief commit perjury on the stand.

You know nothing except what I tell you, stalker boy.

I'm still waiting for one of those statements you type to have a smidgen of fact, and it has yet to be seen.

And I tell you, for the last time, there's no space at the inn for the likes of you. You're a disgusting psycho loser, husband of dumpster.

get over yourself.

And thank you Chris, enough is enough.

and another thread goes down to the hijackers.

What do you have to say in re this thread ? No one is stopping you...

Watching

just the "bullshitter two-step".

The drama queen just can't get it through his head that anything he types is a lie.

Sylvania PD? Never even a speeding ticket, shows what he knows...

Did you live there ? Think about that.

want a nude pic of me too?

freak

it's what the dumpster uses to lubricate herself to receive you.

Yeah, there are a lot of hate-filled trolls here like him that feel that WHO does the posting is far more important than what their posts have to say. They've increased in number over the last year, and it's starting to really affect SB and Toledo Talk. I don't post as much as I used to, either, it just isn't as enjoyable.

"Oh, Bother!" Said Pooh, as he chambered his last round.

I've really enjoyed this site until the harassment began. At first it was cute to smack the little scumbag around, but as time went on, it became more apparent that this scumbag is psychotic.

Now he has me pegged in Sylvania because he's wandering around whitepages.com typing my name in. He's typed my name in so many white boxes he knows the keystrokes with his eyes closed. He had absolutely nothing right about me, I call him on it and make him even look more stupid, then decides to turn it up a notch and claim he's going to vacation here, then when called on it, switches up about staying at the Kennedy Estate in DelRay, when we all know it's on Palm Beach.

I want him to come down here now. I'd love to meet him. I want him to see the how strong the relationship is between Sylvania police and Indian River County Sheriff. Just let the little psycho stalker drive by my house.

Boy is gonna wish he'd have quit when he was warned. And his dumpster is going to be pretty happy his obsession ruined their vacation.

when he has to admit the source of his problems are because he got humiliated on a local blog site and his not knowing how to quit.

His family and friends out there in reality-land are going to be so pleased and impressed.

I got your name in my email! :)

*giggle*

Merry Christmas!

Whose name?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh, Bother!" Said Pooh, as he chambered his last round.

It's tough to have a name of someone from one person and not have it re-inforced, so I'm being careful about what I know until it is determined that the name I do have is correct.

Cuz unlike him, when I smear him against the wall, my words will be truth-laden.

And you can't sue with facts.

I'm no fan of El Machio. I've had my own run-ins with him on this site. I believe he might have serious issues.

All that said, since his last post last night, you've been on here with four posts of your own, including ones that say 'ask the whore, it's what the dumpster uses to lubricate herself to receive you.' and 'I want him to come down here now. I'd love to meet him.'

It takes two people to continue this nonsense and I'm starting to wonder if you're really interested in ending it or not. Your recent posts only add fuel to this fire. I'm starting to think you're liking this a little too much yourself.

Sorry, that's how it's looking from my perspective.

Brian you are furthering it for no reason. You can't say you are not asking for it.

I was just lowering myself to his level, seeing how strongly it affected him.

I was really hoping he'd come down here and make a scene so I could ruin that vacation because I wound him up so tight.

But now I'm more enjoying the crap he slung about actually comming down here whilesitting in his computer room, alone.

He is such a douchebag...

try planning with a better travel agent.

Chris, a link was previously provided by my good friend...

"This fund-raiser used to be at the home of my grandmother (Rose Kennedy, on North Ocean Boulevard in Palm Beach)," Shriver said, as guests trickled into the Flagler Museum for the dinner. "But the family sold it, so I moved everything to Miami Beach. I still have a lot of memories and friends in Palm Beach. I used to play football on a field down the street.

But of course, you knew it was sold and "you'll be the guests of the new owners". LOL

Altho I remember the compund being sold, this is just another example of a responsible blog poster utilizing link features and researching facts before presenting them instead of making silly little guesses and throwing them at a wall as truth and stalking posters with anal-laden diatribe.

His lie wasn't worth the effort of "research", and this fell into my lap!

Now, everyone wants to know, how bad is that frostbite from your overnight fishing expedition?

LOL

The conversation on this thread went. Maybe Mr. Couch should use this as an evidence.
