Oh, I'm not saying it doesn't exist. (That's why I said
"in most cases" below, don'cha know.) But changing one's
screen name here to avoid being identified with a group of
naysayers and perhaps losing one's dome badge just doesn't
fall into the "fear factor" category.
In fact, I think the statement I was commenting on
originally comes a lot closer to invoking the fear factor,
as if the TMO routinely exacted Scientology-like
retribution on dissidents for the slightest infraction.
It's an issue of proportionality, in other words.
