No. Not as a matter of law. so you think the U.S. constitution should be changed?

> You can argue that nothing whatsoever should be limited

I have not done so.

Then what exactly is your argument?

Penetrating anonymous posts in order to prosecute those rare transgressions is an exercise for the courts. And in an ideal world, ONLY the courts would have the authority to penetrate the veil.

So, you wouldn't happen to be a law student, would you? Because you seem to be advcocating for a society in which we'd all need to meet weekly with our lawyers to file piles of suits to protect our reputations from idle anonymous potshots.
