Extremes are exactly that - extremes. As a proud progressive liberal, I would no more think of burning down a research lab for animal rights than I would think that 99.999% of conservatives would advocate shooting a security guard at a holocaust museum. But I'd be ridiculed if I tried to say the Animal Liberation Front was a right wing group. When you go around the bend, it doesn't really matter which end you went around.

WHELAN APOLOGY LEAVES QUESTIONS UNANSWERED ABOUT BLOG COMMENTERS
Like Buckeye said. I use a pseudonym when I comment, and I consider "Calming Influence"'s reputation pretty much my own. The only other pseudonym I've ever used is "jexter" (since dropped except on sites I signed up on long ago), and people generally know I am one and the same. I've made stupid comments that were inaccurate/not well thought out that I've owned up to it in order to preserve my reputation. I don't make up new names for myself for every comment. I know this isn't the same as using my real name, and it does give me more freedom to say whatever pops into my head. But honestly, I try hard not to.

THE OUTING OF PUBLIUS AND THE COMFORT OF ANONYMITY
Well said, Rick. This progressive liberal DFH will be checking back frequently to study this reasonable Right-Winger phenomenon. I might just learn something... ;-)
