The only person who got put in the no-post zone used excessive profanity
for no reason whatsoever except to get a rise out of people, and made a
personal attack against at least one listmember. (The issue of the
off-list *threat* made to another listmember didn't have anything to do
with the decision, as we didn't know about it until afterwards.) So
"pissy anonymity" is a gross understatement as to the reasons he was
prevented from posting. His being anonymous wasn't the big issue,
although if he had given as much information on who he was as most
listmembers have on me, someone might have called the cops in his town
to check and make sure he wasn't an actual threat to himself or others.
(Which, from some of his other rantings, he'd have hated.)
