Because of the recent possibility someone faked an IP to get an editor in trouble as a sock, I've been investigating how the heck they do it. I went to the Tor page and read enough to know I didn't have days and days to figure it all out. (Or to figure out if some banned editors or socks were paying $6.00 a month to use it to fake different IPs and fool the check user program.)The Tor Project today put out a statement against online harassment, in particular the singling out of women:

It's worth a read, and I'm sure they would welcome comments from other communities.
