Nick Denton’s all bent out of shape that Slashdot obscures their logs. Too bad Mr. Denton, I’m sorry that you don’t seem to understand that terrorism does not magicaly make the right of people to peacefuly assemble, even in cyberspace, go away. Tossing the Constitution in the dustbin so you can show those Conservabloggers just how manly and tough you are, is a losing proposition.
I’d venture a State where anonymous conversation is banned can be just as bad as one where Islamic Fascists lurk under every rock. There may not be singular, violent catastrophes like the WTC attack, but there will opportunity for many catastrophes below the threshold of observablity.
