You could use your name, Tired. As I said, no one has harassed me, though I am in the phone book and my address is public knowledge. As jjp58, and as Local Guy, I got a lot of on-line harassment and even threats, and I was worried that might carry over into real life, but it hasn't. Your belief that "the left" or whatever you want to call it is evil, is pure paranoia, and it's unhealthy. I don't live in fear, and I don't think that you should, either.

And no, I am not unusually ignorant, nor do I "mess" with people's minds. I am pretty much the way I present myself, because that is the honest way, and it is the easiest way to conduct my life.
