Brian Goudie - who are these anonymous internet warriors?

Well I have been deliberately posting on this blog recently and watching as the anonymous internet warriors post comments.

Even when they make horrific comments, I dont bother to delete them now.

These people hide behind internet profiles with made up names such as Tommy Truthsearcher, Jules, Sam Kane, Ally, Sam Thai, The Weapon - all spend all their time making comments and threats from the comfort of their internet connections.

Fake Facebook profiles, fake Wordpress blogs, fake Blogger sites, fake Google Plus profiles - the lot!

It comes under the umbrella name of 'internet harrassment' or 'cyber harrassment'. It is a criminal offence in most countries, but difficult to identify offenders.

Easy to make threats when you are anonymous isnt it girls?

Now ask the question - why do they use fake untraceable accounts with fake photoshopped profile photos?

There are two reasons, firstly they are low life cowardly scum bags who would never challenge face to face, and secondly they know if they can be identified we will prosecute them under Thailand's Computer Crimes Act.

The only one who posts in his own name is Andrew Drummond - and he will face a lot of cases this year from a number of parties - at least he has the balls to put his name to it, for which I give him some credence even though he does get it wrong some of the time.

The ones who hide behind fake names, you can decide - low life cowards not man enough to use real names, or credible commenters.

This is my personal blog with my real name and a real photo and my other site is Case Watch Asia ( www.casewatch.asia ) - having some tech problems this week but will be back up soon!
