GX > Each PC has a dial-up controller-based

Who the hell wants the low speed of dial up internet?

GX > Yes. There's that too. Yum-Yums

Yet you said carpeting all around.  Cleaning issue.

GX > with an additional zing of anonymity

GX > What more could any warm-hearted,
GX > compassionate, fair, vulnerable outcast

Your business model would be based
on sociopaths and psychopaths?

GX > Because of what society does to my

GX > My enemy [i.e. society] pisses me off.
GX > To be fair, I want to piss my enemy off.

Severe sociopath.

Post a link to a photo of the types of clothes
society would be forced to accept to appease you.

> You're right. I won't change society and I don't plan to. I just want

Yet you claim it would be completely legal.
Doubtful.

So apparently you would want to close down freedom
of speech, even though you apparently want free speech.

And you've realized that what you propose is self-defeating for you.

So WHY do something that bites YOU in the ass?

> Public uproar and lynch mobs will force the enactment of new laws

That's already the case for the most part
when law enforcement gets involved.

> Using this hypothetical chat cafe, I can write dirty filthy sick
> things in chat rooms that would otherwise get me into a LOT of trouble
> with society and its evil puritans.

Yet you said it's all perfectly legal.
Doubtful.

GX > On one of my computer's I'm currently

Oh good, I'm so glad you didn't notice who
actually runs some of the servers they use,
or the funny things somebody slipped into
the code that refuses to let you avoid
certain servers.

The "anonymous remailer community"
has had a noticeable slowdown after the
Adrian Lamo/Manning/Assange thing.

As if the half of anonymous remailer users
weren't bonafide pedophiles to begin with,
now there a military/intelligence reason to
watch anonymous remailers very carefully.
