so trading off sorting through anonymity in exchange for loss of
personal privacy is a good thing, you reckon?

This is the 21st century, unless you live in a cave and pay cash
for everything your personal privacy is an illusion. I don't ****
my britches when Amazon recommends fly fishing books.

I differ, and have never
had any problem sorting through the spammers and sock puppets on Usenet
by myself.

Civility is the biggest issue. Social networks where you have
to use your name are more civil than Usenet newsgroups. Some
view this as a feature, others a bug. YMMV

I didn't say it was my issue, dumbass. I said it was the biggest
issue. Can't you read, you bug-eyed ****wit.

Now you see, that would have been wholly inappropriate on Facebook
but it's de rigueur here.

Honorable underwear is my issue. Apparently John Kerry somehow
dishonored your tightie whities for you and you've been wearing
dishonorable underwear ever since.

My underwear, on the other hand, is as honorable as the day is
long.

Only for those for whom **** and **** stains are honorable.

You consider yourself "honorable" and you're a **** stain on
the honor of the United States Navy so you'll want to salute
my underwear. And John Kerry's too.

No, it's not de rigueur here. De regueur means prescribed or required
by etiquette, style, or custom.

There is no requirement to be rude and insulting on roff. You choose
to do so.

You let yourself off too easily.
