You are welcome to remain anonymous if you like, but then you cannot use your account to attack others.
I explained to Bob that the Founders of this country covered anonymity as part of the 1st amendment. They even wrote the federalist paper anonymously. There is a long history of the oppressed using anonymity in US history.

This is a direct violation of the 1st amendment and freedom of speech. I pointed this out to Bob.
The Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that the right to anonymous free speech is protected by the First Amendment. A frequently cited 1995 Supreme Court ruling in McIntyre v. Ohio Elections Commission reads:
Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society.
Bob then made it clear that Warren has more rights than I do, simply because he is not anonymous. But no where does the constitution say being anonymous negates any rights anywhere. The founders and the constitutional scholar I quoted, made it very clear that being anonymous is part of the 1st amendment and is protected.

You'll notice that people either use their real names or have satisfied us that their real names are known. For example, it's well known that "Free" is Warren Narron. In some cases we have asked for additional verification of identity such as a phone number associated with your real name.
I've heard this before.

Bob is literally denying me my equal rights here. I demand to have the exact same rights to attack as warren immediately! Warren has free speech to attack me, but I do not have free speech to counter attack?
I'm starting to suspect you are making up special rules because you are anti-gay, a homophobe.
But then Bob threatened this gay man when he stood up for his equal rights.

Please prove what a hypocritical, anti-freedom of speech tyrant you are, by banning me. Then it will be perfectly clear what a lying fraud you are Herr Bob.
