I do know, and someone could be doxxed or swatted without CNN doing a damn thing. People get doxxed and swatted all the time for random stupid things. I've seen it happen from all sides of the spectrum. I don't want to see that sort of thing happening to anyone, but it's a risk you take when you get into those flame wars. This doesn't change my position.

Perfect example is there was once a poster here who mentioned they wanted to have sex with another poster's child. Does that mean his anonymous post on a message board should affect his job status? ...... No it should not ....
If you are too chicken shit to sign your name to something you have said, then don't say it. Simple as that. If it has the potential to cost you your job then maybe you should rethink it. I hear stories all of the time about people losing their jobs or not being hired for things they say online, and I have no sympathy. If you say it, own up to it.
