Er, I hope you used some of your charm and showed them how to 'do numbers' - it's too painful to think they were having to write out the numbers...

I'm with Mike42 on this one. I don't believe it's right to 'out' someone who disagrees with a bloggers view. It seems an abuse of power. Apart from anything else you might stop genuinely insightful responses to MIRs ongoing dialog with its readers.

There is an element in me that gets frustrated that I can't see who flamers are (especially on Youtube) and sometimes I'd like to give them serious verbal abuse in return, but ultimately i make my own mind up whether they have a good or ridiculous point. Being loyal and rallying around a bloggers opinion is one thing, but aggressively 'outing' someone who disagrees by following up on their IP address is a bit like a modern day witch hunt on a 'nay sayer'.
