Nah, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. I don't see how anyone
would "face the music" in this context... in the case of negative remarks
towards people (aka trolling), the *goal* is to elicit responses by
instigating people because you have no accountability -- the joy is just
trying to piss people off. The more remarks and the more instigating, the
better (in their mind). For all you know, he's 5 other people here.
Have you met Carmen yet?

Someone on my forum claimed to have gained 30 lbs in 3 months eating
800-1000 calories/day.
In the FFID universe, 800 cal can magically cause weight gain.

That could be true even if he posted under his real name. For that matter,
how is "Brian <nospam@nospam.com>" any less anonymous than JC? How do I
know "Brian" is your real name? How do I distinguish you from a hundred
million other Brians, or even contact you, if I wanted to hold *you*
accountable for something?
How do I know you aren't me? (raises eyebrow) :-)

I'll settle it right now. I'm actually everyone on this group. If someone
posts that they are actually not me, it's really just me messin' with ya.

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

Good point, you don't know my name is really Brian (but it is, unless I'm
delusional and only *think* my name is Brian!)
Believe me though, I'm not arguing I'm less anonymous than anyone else. I
just think people's true colors _generally_ (though not always) come out
because they aren't accountable -- not in the same way as you would be in
real life, anyway...
OK, back to low-carbing... as JC would say, "This discussion is not low
carb."
