Simply don't feed the trolls. Unfortunately, I have a tendency to do this.
Yeah, me too :-), my post was as much to remind myself as everyone else.
Publishing their IP's would be punishing them for not being able to sign in
Does associating an IP with a post constitute a punishment? I can see where it would be disadvantageous (e.g. if someone is posting from their workplace without permission), but is it too much to ask that someone log in with a user name in order to enjoy anonymity?
Are there situations where a user can not log in for posting? I thought allowing AM posts was just a convenience thing (so users could post without having to go through the two-minute procedure of registering or the x-second procedure of logging in), but it seems I'm missing something here. What scenarios prevent users from logging in?
