As well as having pointed this out on the thread in question, I asked Doug why he believed I worked at this shop, what was the source of his information, and why he believed it was a legitimate action to publish the job location of an anti-racist activist in this fashion. Unfortunately, Doug is yet to reply to these questions.<\/p>\n<p>In many respects, Doug&#8217;s attempt at intimidation is the same as that <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/?p=860\">attempted<\/a> by one of his fellow supporters of The Birmy &#8212; Chunga, of the band The Worst &#8212; only while Doug wrote &#8220;He thinks his identity is secret but&#8221;, Chunga opted for &#8216;Anyway\u2026 <a href=\"http:\/\/slackbastard.anarchobase.com\/index.php?s=%22anarchy+is+a+fag%22\">anarchy is a fag<\/a>\u2026 that\u2019s all I have to say to you Mr Moran\u2026 See how fast words travel my friends?
