in thread Deleting Accounts

I agree with you. And I don't believe a "perfect" world is possible or even desirable. I just don't have a shred of sympathy for those who don't take responsibility for their online identities. And when they start getting threatening or talking about legalities, I start getting pretty upset because I *like* the wild west web. If the day comes when you have to get a government permit to put up a site with user accounts... well, there's no need to bring blue-language into the thread. :)

"Crackers" use the word "hackers" so I do as well.

    I like your wild west analogy. Perhaps we should practice some frontier justice, complete with bounty hunters, posse's and the occasional lynching. ;-}

    Though its probably not necessary here, I rarely pass up an opportunity to dispel the mass media myth that "hackers" eq "crackers"
