Is there any way we can discuss this subject while completely ignoring the posts from our rude guest? I am as outraged as the next person about the whole FA / NAACP thing, but I am equally outraged by a rude, stongly opinionated person who hides behind his anonymity while insulting anyone who doesn't immediately fall into lockstep with his opinion. I thought the comparison to the Klan was, in some ways, apt. I also think that comparisons to obscene or crank phone callers are apt.

Imagine yourself in any social gathering, perhaps a meeting of your local Folklore Society. There is a person there that no one knows who is delivering strong opinions while flinging insults at other people in the room. She repeatedly refuses to give anyone her name. What is your response?

And no, this comment does not belong in another thread. The rude behavior is happening in this thread.
