Bring it on, crybabies!...
“Find out who some of them are specifically, and call them out / target them individually.”
How can you find out who they are?
I wouldn't have the first idea how to do that; but some of you FReepers are all up into FB and Twitter, etc. I stay away from those.
It's been an online media trend for some years now to rein in the opportunity to comment, because of the expense of servers for massive amounts of data, the horrible flame wars and filth that was going on when the Internet was newer, the annoying spam advertisements , the targeted trolling from Russia (they have entire buildings called "click farms" where low-wage trolls are tasked with trying to influence politics in other countries), and also our domestic political campaigns like the topic of this thread. It's difficult for sites to get competent moderators, as well, to screen out not just profanity and obscenity, but also jihad recruiting or interpersonal abuses.
You may have noticed that a lot of sites now make you sign in with some other identifying site, like a Facebook or Twitter name, with the presumption that they have extracted your real-life name and info. It's a wonder that there are any comment sites at all any more.
The NSA can find out who anyone is, anyway. But then the expense of the court order would be on the media who published any troublesome comments, libel, death threats, etc.
That's a given! Except for the few remaining Cruz retreads who are trying with varying degrees of success to accept his unfortunate political demise and make the correct choice in a binary election.
Bumping your post for later. Thanks!
