DeMaio's men's room masturbation went unreported (updated 8/26)

DeMaio's men's room masturbation went unreported (updated 8/26)
In retrospect, I fail to see what all the hubbub is regarding online anonymity. If anything, in this cyber age of often perverse behavior, I can fault no one for choosing to use a nom de plume. George Orwell's given name was Eric Arthur Blair. Stephen King wrote a series of short novels using the pen name Richard Bachman. Using one's real name online has nothing to do with "actual balls", but rather, in many cases, a legitimate distrust of the pitfalls that accompany online messaging. Case in point: My wife types in all caps. Ok, this is very irritating to many viewers, and I get that. What I don't get are the all too common snide remarks that she receives, from both non and anonymous typists (reaffirming my belief that the web is merely a vehicle for what I call the "soapboxization" of America: "You, too, can be Rush Limbaugh"!) Not one of them, to my knowledge, is capable of thinking beyond the pale. If they did, they might be able to consider that there could be an underlying reason for her usage of caps. As a teen, she was struck with an extremely rare disease, often fatal, that causes full paralysis. She was bed-ridden in Alvarado for over six months, had to learn to walk and speak again, and has residual effects to this day. One result of the affliction was that she had to have cataract surgery when she was 38, rare for someone that young. They messed up the surgery on her left eye, the result being that she cannot see as well as she did prior to the surgery. So take a wild guess as to why she types in all caps. I recognize that this example has nothing to do with anonymity, but I use it as a means of emphasizing the inherent risks associated with internet usage, not the least of which includes stalking. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/a…— August 28, 2013 6 a.m.

Giant guffaw of the year: Don Bauder is a "left wing reporter" ???? Now *that* characterization is a classic example of what's known as a fertile imagination. Speaking of gossipy rumors. And you were.— August 27, 2013 12:19 p.m.

I'm sure they're taking their time for the sake of accuracy. They'd never print unsubstantiated rumors, right?— August 25, 2013 8:19 a.m.
