Which has minimal effect in the absense of gunpowder.. :-)

The tone in the political echoes pale in comparison to those times.

This is the nature of the info I said was being divulged..

At worst, using the real names of people not party to the network, does
them an injustice in this now Googlable network. Especially in the case of
him telling everyone how he helped dump chemicals illegally and was using
names of everyone he worked with, as he was expressing fear for losing his
job if he had said something at the time.

In other cases the info is so so irrelevant, and revealing real names is
still doing those people an injustice and using generic personal references
is more appropriate. (friend, brother, sister, co-worker, supervisor, mom,
dad etc)

Wayne has taken alot, but everytime he takes it, he provides more fuel, I
submit that had he kept things about himself more of a mystery, the amount
he would have received would have been far less.

I know what you are saying but the politeness required is absent in the
written forum.

Yet this is what Wayne tried to do with me, cherry picking url's that met
the criteria of his arguments.
