As a strong advocate for First Amendment freedom of speech, ultimately driven from Bflo for that belief, I am often frustated to see serious topics on SUWNY 'taken over' by utter idiocy, always by anonymous posters.

It drives aways serious citizens wishing to particiapte in vital discussion of pressing issues on a potentially powerful civic problem-solving tool in a deeply troubled city & region.

I propose that personal criticism of another only occur by honestly named posters in order to promote greater responsiblity for the rights & feelings of others . . and more responsible "freedom of speech".

And, there no doubt needs to be an "IDIOTS ANONYMOUS" category for anybody stuck in adolescence to mock out everything in sight which gives them pleasure . . all in complete anonymity . . (to protect the guilty?).
