People who engage in public discourse, should not be expected to have their identities remain private Public Discourse? Like online? Please do tell me the story of how your parents settled on "bb88" as your name. Very quirky, do tell... People who potentially have billions of dollars Why? Yes, I read your argument in the other post that they may have committed some crime. No. This is why we no longer burn witches, and now have boring things like judges and courts.

> Public Discourse? Like online? Please do tell me the story of how your parents settled on "bb88" as your name. Very quirky, do tell... Wow, you're not snarky at all, are ya bud? But, uh yeah I do believe that, even for me. I don't expect my identity to remain private. Someone just needs a lawyer to sue "John Doe" known as "bb88" and get my IP address from ycombinator.com. > Yes, I read your argument in the other post that they may have committed some crime. Apparently, not carefully enough. It's not that "may have", it's that they "might". E.g. Many states like having concealed gun owners register with the state. Again, not because they "may have" committed a crime, but because they might.

  Wow, you're not snarky at all, are ya bud? And? How does your comment contribute to the discussion? Your position that billionaires are all criminals because you personally cannot conceive of anybody making that kind of money the legal way is bullshit, however you wish to dress it up.
