I heartily second this suggestion! I just signed up for this list and this
was one of the first postings I received; review of the objected-to item
tells me, as an attorney, that an actionable case of defamation appears to
have been committed. One must assume that this was not even just a
spur-of-the-moment outburst, but was an act quite deliberate and desirous of
hurting the reputations of those defamed, SINCE the poster took an
apparently well-thought-out route to hide its identity.
Making the use of real identity [and call if the poster has one] mandatory
is the best way that I can think of to prevent further occurrences of such
garbage.
Respectfully, and proud to use my name/call!.
