Well this is stupid,that comment is anonymous.

[Vince Ferrer]

China is big on this too.

What’s his email?

I will gladly tell him FU and give my name gives a address.

[sten]

i guess they don’t like not being able to control the conversation

not to mention, the internet is a great way to expose their corruption

Two idiot RINOs at that.

[SoFloFreeper]

Translation: you cannot use an online forum you build or create the way you see fit. The lawmakers of New York know best.

both R’s

[LyinLibs]

Moslems would love this. They could target whoever didn’t want to live according to Sharia.

If anything like this passes, I’ll change my online name to “Cocky McSorely.”

[Sirius Lee]

Time to round up “Publius”, “Philo-Publius”, “Cato” and “Brutus” and string them up.

[Uncle Slayton]

Assemblyman Dean Murray and Sen. Thomas O’Mara.

These stupid Democrats should bullied by all.

[BenLurkin]

These politicians are either evil or crazy. Or both.

When you’re a FASCIST POS I suppose free speech is among the least of your problems. So why do these pukes want to eliminate it?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I find it interesting how “bullying” is being used as an excuse here to limit privacy.

In other contexts, bullying is a pretext for introducing the homosexual agenda in schools.

What next?

[jimbo123]

They are Republicans.

[trubolotta]

Cyberbullying? I have had it with the wimp-wicks that can’t handle that and whose feelings are bruised because someone said something that upset the poor darlings. This is just a variant of hate crime and those RINOs should be ashamed of themselves.

[jimbo123]

Karl Rove and the rest of the GOP-e find anonymous speech inconvenient.

[aruanan]

A web site administrator upon request shall remove any comments posted on his or her web site by an anonymous poster unless such anonymous poster agrees to attach his or her name to the post and confirms that his or her IP address, legal name, and home address are accurate.

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but is there a law now that says one must disclose one's name and address if one is to point out in person that some moronic doofus is, indeed, a moronic doofus?

[Petrosius]

And how is the State of New York going to show that they have jurisdiction over any website?

[GeorgeWashingtonsGhost]

Of course they’ll sell is as ‘We just want everyone to have a more pleasant Internet experience by using one ID number similar to a Social Security number’ when in actuality it will be for the purposes of the government profiling each and every American citizen into groups, with the anti-socialists being sent to internment camps for re-indoctrination training.
