Didn't mean to imply I've lived a virtuous life, far far from it. My opinion is based on my expirience of naively believing in my right to freedom. I am very jaded by current definitions and understanding of freedom.

From my expirience freedom has meant that I have the right to engage in the fight to do what ever I want. If I want to drive 65 in a 55 I have that right -- but I have to live with the consequences. In the same way I have the right to my opinion -- but ...

I don't believe that freedom has anything to do with anonymity, while anonymity can be a powerful tool for understanding more individual opinions, the fact that anonymity is required is direct evidence that not only does the anonymous user feel that their freedom is at risk, but the individual is unwilling to accept the responsibilities for their freedom.
