The New Letters to the Editor

This session was extremely interesting. It involved how to approach or look at the "New Letters to the Editor", the Internet anonymous "letters" that cowards use to make spiteful, lying attacks on any and all subjects. The speaker mentioned you COULD do something about it, but the general feeling of the crowd was to ignore it.

I thought the concept of the "truth squad" (using his own name) was interesting, but I don't really know if these letters are worth the time and effort.

Also, this type of cowardly attacks were "legalized" by a federal law (I don't really understand what the objective of the law is) and it gives another example of the unintended consequences of governmental actions.
