Boy, that was original.

Well, yeah, he does. Someone has targeted him for an
unconscionable attack.

Well, someone has to clean up after people who make
obnoxious, anonymous posts.

Uh huh.
Alan has a legitimate complaint. He also has a suspicion. He
went off half-cocked by posting his suspicion as an
accusation without collecting sufficient supporting
evidence. That was wrong. But the cause of this is still a
person who, just like you, doesn't have the balls to stand
behind their posts.
If you were subjected to derision and ridicule and hostile
e-mail because someone tried to make of you a pedophile, you
might be acting a little loopy too. As it is, it's probably
better to be wrong in one's own name and take responsibility
for it, than to be nothing more than a ****ing lily-livered
coward.
