No. However, the usual suspects that go overboard just to see how much shock value they can bring to the table need to be kept in check and come to the realization that they can be held accountable.

What pisses me off is that most of the cowards spout off as if the P&C's stories are absolutely factually correct or they make idiotic assumptions (like we saw this week). Then, on another story they lambast the reporter as being full of shit and say what a fish wrap the P&C is (which I don't necessarily disagree with).

So yeah, I've got a problem with hypocrisy, racism, and defamation posted under the guise of "I can type whatever I want because no one knows who I am ". There is a fine line between being able to speak your mind and speaking your mind for the sole purpose of inflaming a bad situation.

The events of this week highlighted the issue here on CHP.

I'm willing to bet that if a few of these guys could have gotten a hold of some of the commentators over there it would have been a really bad day for them.

Although I have not done it yet, I have had colleagues subpoena the P&C for the IP addresses of some of these people and are going after them civilly.
