Cyber Trolls & Such

An anonymous troll has been clogging the comments with posts totally unrelated to the topic he/she has been posting under. Sadly, this "anonymous" wants to simply call me names without having the deceny to take credit for his or her actions. Furthermore, the ire is directed against my comments on Tim's El Salvador. I have finally figured out that "anonymous" has decided to try to attack me here because Tim does not allow anonymous posts. (I guess he changed that because of similar troll problems.)

I have therefore changed the settings to not allow anonymous posts. Again, "Anonymous," I am willing to respond to serious challenges on issues--but calling me names (without having the decency to reveal yours) simply reveals your lack of maturity.

By the way, he/she finally did comment on an issue--only to reveal that he/she does not think that the forced disappearance and subsequent murder of an environmental activist; death threats against jornalists investigating the case; and attacks on a priest are things that Amnesty should be working on. The decision to put out this urgent action was made by senior AI staff members--not me. Having said that, right on AI! This action makes me proud of my affiliation with Amnesty.

And thank you, anonymous, for clearly displaying your true colors with your comment on the Marcelo Rivera case!
