Members that have traceable ISP addresses and out going cookies on a main frame server located (speaking hypothetically of course) in the US? Not to mention of course that if (again hypothetically speaking) that private forum operated with donations or credit card billings recorded in a Paypal or other online payment service, the government potentially could have court quality evidence of the "hard core counter-revolutionaries" making it possible for the privately owned forum to operate as online meeting place for the commiters of "hate-crimes" and "other terrorists".
If you don't believe that the 'rats are going to use all of the ownderful new tools we gave the government after 9/11 (PATRIOT for example) to go after "domestic terrorists" I got a really pretty bridge to sell you...
Wait for that to come back into style again, folks. "Domestic Terrorists" -- fresh out of 1995 and barrack for an encore in 2010.
Well, it’s a little late in the game for that, don’t you think? If that’s your concern, then the damage has already been done. As a long time JPFO, NRA and GOA member, I’m already on enough ‘lists’.
By the time matters have come to the pass that you’ve suggested, I’ll have long since gone huntin’.
