Yeah, I got the same comments when I was younger, because I had long
hair. I musta been guilty of -some-thing!
Oh, and I was told to get my hair cut because I looked like a girl.

Correction, if you please: that's us they're *supposedly* talking
about. I do not think we should take it for granted that this
conversation really took place as reported.
I suppose this is one of those relatively rare social occasions when
one might as well assume one's narrator is lying. At that, my point
was that under the ground rules of this conversation, these weren't
people to cheer for.
Stupid lies spread on a Usenet newsgroup serve as a numbing

It's always nice to put a child molester in jail. I do hope that everyone
that supports Kramer and his actions in here are having their posts, along
with their e-mail addresses sent to the police department that arrested
Kramer. This is being done by myself. As well, if your real address is
found out, it will be posted in here as well as being sent to the authorities.
Call it invasion of privacy. Call it whatever you want, but it's being done
with or without everyones' consent. If you don't like it, tough shit.
1. No actions have been proven in a court of law. Anyone, even you, is
innocent until proven guilty. Frankly, I've no idea if Ed K. is innocent or
guilty, and I am unlikely to be on the jury. But the more that you and those
like you carry on with this crap, the more I'd go for him being innocent.
2. I suspect that the police will be utterly overjoyed at you sending them
the addresses of all these folks. And, pray, where are all these posts of
"support", other than support for due process and the rule of law?
3. This is Usenet, boyo. There are people here, believe it or not, who come
from outside the state of Georgia, and don't support the Klan.
4. You are an utter and abject coward, hiding behind a screen name, which
gives you the credibility of a gnat.

You don't seem to understand that many of us don't even know Ed
Kramer, but we know both common decency and the law of the land in
the United States. Ed Kramer is entitled to a jury of his peers.
-Everyone- has a right to a fair hearing. That's the basic and
fundamental right we're discussing here.
You don't do yourself any favors to posting anonymously; you only
identify yourself as a coward who is afraid to put his or her own
name on public statements you make.

Gee, that's frightening. The notion of the police hearing the folks out
here have a consensus that Ed Kramer should get a fair trial, assuming that
there's enough evidence to go to trial, should frighten anybody with two

Those of us with a more normal number, though, probably aren't going to
worry.
While I cannot help but admire the "I am Spartacus" nature of these

I have to follow my own post to say that this is where people who
consistently use handles on usenet -- or who make occasional,
facetious use of such handles, get unfairly tarred with the "not
using your real name" meme. This was and is not my intention.
There is (usually) an obvious and discernible difference between
people who are choosing a name to represent them on usenet (and
elsewhere) -- where that name -is- the person, in the sense that the
map is the territory -- and someone who is attempting to defraud,
mislead or, more venally, to escape through the coward's anonymous
note from the possibility of being held accountable for one's words.
(I will take the opportunity to express some amusement that one of
the major reasons (I don't know that it is the primary reason)
people use anonymizers on usenet is to post pornographic stories and
images which (theoretically) cannot be traced back to them. And,
reading several pages on anonymizer services, it is fascinating to
see how many of them add as one of the advantages that you can keep
your coworkers and managers from knowing where you surf on line. It
certainly suggests that the sites at least believe that their
potential clients -will- be doing something which would get them in
trouble if others knew about it.)
-- LJM
Would the date of this post perhaps be significant? I can't believe that
even a total dickhead would believe that posting addresses will frighten
anyone - they're too readily found on web sites etc. (which is where
you'll find mine if you are serious about this, Mr. Anonymous) - but as
a bit of April 1st trolling it has worked quite well.
Of course, he could just be an idiot.

Uh huh, you're afraid to post your own name, so you post Warren's.
FYI. There are TWO groups out there.
Joe Christ and Nancy Collins, while their tactics are debatable to say
the least, have mostly confined themselves to the gathering and
distribution of data. They're both sf&f/horror professionals. I'm not
sure who else, if anyone, is in that faction. You can argue with them.
Keith Holder and Mr Anon, are the ones who hate sf fans entirely and
can't tell a filk from an obscenity. At times they may have brought in
reinforcements from the troll community. These critters need to be
starved, as far as any feedback or notice of their existance is
concerned, and/or "drowned out" with on topic posts.
The US justice system is, in theory and almost certainly in practice, not
going to show that he's innocent, even if he is. "Not guilty" really means
"not proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt", and that's theoretically the
best a jury can do for somebody they've concluded really, truly absolutely
didn't do what they're accused of, and people will not necessarily conclude
from that that the guy didn't do it, and many will, in many cases, conclude
that hey, he did it, but he got off.
And, in some cases, they may even be right. OJ Simpson, for example, is
"not guilty" of the murder of the two people he killed, but even absent the
civil trial, there are few folks who have looked at the evidence who aren't
damn sure that he killed his ex-wife and Ron Goldman.
As to Ed Kramer, I can't see how it possibly hurts for anybody not involved
in the prosecution end of criminal justice system in his locale to withhold
judgment. The guy's under house arrest, after all, and has a monitor bolted
onto him, and is being closely watched.
The only advantage I can possibly see from this sort of lynch mob atmosphere
is to a (hypothetically) guilty Ed Kramer -- if his lawyers can persuade the
judge/appeals court that he can't get a fair trial, then he walks.
Well, that's not quite true. If some person or people has some sort of
grudge against an innocent Ed Kramer, and knows that when the truth will
out, he'll be as exonerated as somebody in his position can be, it would be
in that person or person's interest to muddy his name as much as possible,
so he'll be released on the grounds that he can't be fairly tried, rather
than on the grounds that he couldn't, despite the State's best efforts, be
proven guilty.
I just finished it last night, at sometime around midnight, having
found myself completely incapable of stopping once I'd reached a
certain point.
It is clearly a well-written history of a place other. I found
myself captivated.

You are one stupid DUMB CUNT, aren't you. Kramers' lawyer works tooth and
nail to get the fat bastard bail, and as soon as he gets out, he tries to
grab another teen boy, and has his bail revoked.
OF COURSE HE'S INNOCENT! LOL!
I for one, can't wait until he's convicted. I hope the general population
cuts his nuts off with a rusty soup can.
Trolling is scummy, but molesting young boys is okay. Uh huh, we see where
your priorities lie, ya' skanked-out old cunt.
Actually, I think there are some rare cases in which a defendant in a
criminal case has been found innocent, rather than merely "not
guilty". It's rare because it's generally not necessary (there's no
real legal distinction between the "innocent" and "not guilty"), but
it's done in some cases where the defendant was clearly improperly
prosecuted.

We're all terrified.
I don't support Ed Kramer (only met him a couple of times) or his
actions (don't know what they have been). I *do* support the legal
system outlined in the constitution. The police seem to have had
cause to arrest Ed. If he's brought to trial, I hope the truth is
determined. Of course I won't know; as I say, I don't know Ed, I
don't know the truth of these accusations.
But by all means continue harassing people and wasting the police
department's time; I hope you do it enough that they decide to shut you
down.

Still has to do with the standard of law under which -everyone- in
the U.S. is to be held -- innocent until proven guilty in a court of
law. I will repeat as often as you like that the person in question
hasn't been tried in a court of law yet, and in that situation he --
like you -- is entitled to a presumption of innocence. This is not
a defense of -anyone- accused of -any- crime; this is a factual
statement of the law of the U.S., and similar if not always
identical protections are part of law elsewhere.
I don't care -who- is doing the yelling; if the yelling is an
attempt to sidestep due process, it is -wrong-. This has no bearing
on the guilt or innocence of any individual in any case; this has to
do with recognizing, maintaining and preserving liberty.

He thinks we support Ed Kramer because he cannot distinguish between
supporting the First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments, and wanting to let
criminals off the hook. He is unable to fully comprehend the notion
that mere accusation is not proof of guilt, and he can't form the idea
in his head that even if someone _is_ guilty, you _still_ need to
protect their rights, in order to protect the rights of the innocent
accused.
Right now, Mr. Anonymous, we know only that Ed Kramer is accused of
child molestation. We have no idea whatsoever whether he's guilty or
innocent. Your tactics, and the tactics of Joe Christ and Nancy
Collins, do not, however, inspire confidence in his guilt. Quite the
opposite.

I was trying to recall the age of the reported victim.
I remember when I was 14, and I was pretty curious about sex, and
calling me a "child" in those days felt like some sort of sneering
insult. The way that "child" gets used as a label in the laws, and in
the speech of people like this anonymous fugghead, is dangerous because
it loses context. I don't know what the age-limit is in our anonymous
interlocutor's place of residence, but I wonder what magical
transformation there can be which he believes makes all persons under
that age into children vulnerable to abuse. Growing up is a fuzzy
thing, with none of the step-function transisitions that the law, and
people who forget their own growing up, set out in black and white.
But if age alone was the definition of sexual abuse, the crime of rape
would not exist. There's force, and seduction, and even curious 14-
year-olds who won't take 'no' for an answer. There's a whole spectrum
of possibilities, all lumped together under the one label, and we may
never know for sure what happened.
And because the laws lump together 4-year-olds and 14-year-olds, and
because the labels encourage us to think of the worst possible events,
and because we still get mobs in frenzied riot over the supposed
presence of a paedophile, we have to pay attention to getting the
process of law right. Whether or not Ed Kramer did what is alleged, the
witch-hunt that has followed, and the acts of people such as this
anonymous poster, are as vile, as despicable, and as disruptive to the
social fabric, as anything he might have done.

Don't you have to appeal separately for that though, once you've been found not
to be guilty?
Or can the judge of your original trial make that declaration after the jury
verdict is returned?

In (partial) defense of anonymizer services, I will point out that they
can also serve as protection for people wanting to post politically
dangerous information. Not everyone is in a position to be as bold as
the average member of this newsgroup about stating their political or
social opinions, especially in a number of countries we all could name
just by looking at our daily newspapers.
Heck, for that matter, protection from near-psychotic levels of sexual
repression is not inherently an evil goal. There could be situations
where somebody might want to post their erotic writings without being
branded a "pornographer," particularly if in their country that sort of
thing can mean imprisonment.
