Yes, I did, you mouth-breathing retard! No one should be allowed to post anonymously, ever. Only pussies post anonymously, and only the guilty are worried about having the government know who said what when. The government is interested in you only if you have something to hide. Moron.

• support the things everyone else supports
• oppose the things everyone else opposes

[Anonymous Coward]

I'm not saying that he is the anonymous poster, but I think the public would feel better if Glenn can please tell us that he did not do this.
