He isn't cowering behind a pseudonym, he just doesn't want to broadcast his full name. He has his reasons. While his statements were certainly unfounded, and probably require for an apology, I don't see how using a "pen name" is cause for extra harsh treatment. There is no notion of looking someone in the eye and confronting them directly on a computer network, so whether he calls himself tuu or King Lerch or John the Butthead is somewhat irrelevant. If you wish to slam him further, please you take your flames to E-mail. > Gregg Barisano > CPT, US ARMY
