Of course, they swore that they would never sell out to the Establishment, but they did, and so will today’s protesters.
Good points.

They are disgusting.

At least millennials are spitting on returning soldiers.

Aren't? Is that what you meant to say?

I'm glad it finally came out this week, that Facebook was selling all your tracking info to companies. It's been going on for years.

The NSA is doing the same thing.

Here’s my experience with APC. June 2014 I had a prolific poster here given inside information about me by a moderator. Specifically that I was posting from Toronto. He then accused me of causing a specific flight to be delayed by posting on here. I was in Toronto for training at Flight Safety and no where near an airplane. Instead another Captain got to do the Chief Pilot dance over his accusations. This guy also threatened to sabotage my pursuit of a career at Delta where he works. I went a few rounds with Internet Branding (The company that runs this platform). They refused to tell me anything about their investigation. But they would delete all posts that I had previously made. Both the moderator and prolific poster are still active here. I’m where I want to be career wise so IDGAF now. But it was a low blow for those two to pull shenanigans like that.

Moral of the story it’s not just social media you need to be careful with. There’s some vindictive people out there and in here.

Unlikely. Moderators can access your registration email and IP address, but would be fired for using or sharing that inappropriately.

That said, probably best to use an anonymous email address just to be sure you don't get compromised by some rogue. IP addresses can give insight, but are not definitive since they are shared... very few individuals would ever have a permanent IP.

That was a monumentally bad idea.

I consider this place about as anonymous as Facebook.

It's still there. I put a warning label on it a while back.
