LIKE S Williams, I too have felt ashamed of the recent series of attacks on democratically elected local politicians by people too cowardly to sign their names.

I am proud to live in a democratic society where I can state my views without fear - but I am honest enough to do it under my own name. You seem to encourage and revel in the antics of those who shelter behind anonymity and are thus in no way answerable for what they say. In so doing, I believe that you are undermining the democratic process itself.

PS I hope that you can now refrain from making your usual snide comments.
