Talking of pain - (self-inflicted or otherwise) and its location.

On a more practical level - being considered by some to be a 'pain in the ass' - on our friendly forum (for being anonymous) - will result in your freedom of speech being curtailed.

Yes, I think you may well be first on the list, my friend. It's time for you either to shut up, or to use a name and take responsibility for what you have to say. If you continue to refuse to use a name, you will be come a non-person around here, and every single message you post will be deleted.
Free speech is fine, but you're just a pain in the ass.
