Open letter to

Attorney-General, The Hon Robert McClelland MP

Who is paid to fix this sort of crime and could do so in mnutes
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear SIR

Why do these people in your dept ,receive millions of dollars to
uphold the law

YET can not jail an online criminal that we ALL know they could trace
in 10 minutes flat

The never ending threats and abuse and stalking and a lies that
constantly are used online are all crimes under Australian laws

WHY are you not arresting the REAL terrorists ????

If these people in YOUR department , will not protect Australian
citizens , but WILL jail anybody who breaks USA or Israeli laws , who
are they actually serving , are they committing fraud , or larceny

Replace them ALL , or order they to arrest the real criminals, in
ten minutes you could at least close them down , they are costing
Australian taxpayers hundreds of billions every year in lost business
with many muslim countries by attacking anything that looks like a
Muslim

Cronulla has moved to online

The WORLD IS WATCHING you do nothing

How long can it take to stop the real terrorists who daily break many
laws online , EVERY DAY , while out legal professionals sit in air
conditioned offices telling each other how very very important they
are and how they protect the people

If i ever get to be Attorney General , will arrest them ALL for
theft , or as criminally /recklessly indifferent

You Sir , could make one phone call and arrest these online criminals
in minutes

WHY DONT YOU

READERS' REPRESENTATIVE: Anonymous online comments spoil civil
discourse

As the Internet matures, it's disheartening that the level of public
discourse seems to be regressing. In recent weeks, scores of readers
have contacted me about rude and obnoxious anonymous comments left on
news stories at KansasCity.com.

"I can't believe the horrible and hateful things people are posting,"
one typical caller said. "It makes me so angry that I have a hard time
controlling myself."

A very thoughtful e-mailer noted, correctly, that user comments on a
recent story about the Roeland Park City Council "verged on outright
slander. I wonder if the anonymous authors would engage in the same
low level of mayor and council member bashing if they were required to
state their identity."

I think the answer to that quandary is clearly a no. Something deep in
the human psyche prompts many people to behave offensively behind the
cover of anonymity -- the online equivalent of a bathroom stall.
Unfortunately, a quick perusal of user forums all over the Web proves
that intelligent discussion is nearly always marred by ugly
misbehavior. Ironically, the bad actors' nastiness reflects poorly on
the viewpoints they are so passionate about.

I'm also convinced that a good number of the most offensive comments
come from people pretending to espouse the views of their political
opponents. This is a strategy I first heard about in the 2000
presidential elections, promoted by activists like techno musician
Moby, who urged people to cause trouble online while masquerading as
supporters of George W. Bush.

Hence, vicious posts I've seen from posters using the names "Liberal"
or "Minuteman fan," espousing clearly ridiculous, caricatured
viewpoints on the Frances Semler debate.

The solution? Readers offer lots of suggestions. Many think every
comment should have to be approved by a moderator. There is currently
a link on every post to report it as a violation of the site's terms
of service. Web editors do review hundreds, and they delete a small
percentage.

But newspapers are in the First Amendment business, and are rightly
loath to draconian moderation. As offensive as free speech can be,
it's a bedrock concept of the nation.

Other readers think KansasCity.com should introduce a way to use its
five-star comment-ranking system to push higher-rated remarks to the
top of the queue -- an idea implemented with success at some other
sites. The software The Star currently uses doesn't have this feature,
but it would make for a good wish-list item.

Still others think the boards should be eliminated completely. "Being
associated with this type of nonsense demeans The Kansas City Star and
her readers," wrote one.

I know it can be difficult to peruse the comments, as some topics --
illegal immigration and the Iraq war are two particular flash points
--
draw almost unbelievable vitriol. It's all but impossible to resist a
peppery rebuttal.

The best solution is simply to make the boards a better place by
replacing the nonsense with your own calm, reasoned exchanges. The
bullies only win when you take their bait.
