But it is done by other means because of the fear of reprisals. To quote
Sir Klaus, "We can all have fun shunning him in person." If I understand
Klaus correctly, this is more in response to the anonymous part rather
than the honor part.
If the person had posted in person, there would have been others who
would have shunned him for questioning honor. If you have any doubt that
this would have happened, consider the reactions to the Champions Battle
at Pennsic last year. For those not acquainted with the aftermath, there
was an orgy of name calling which ended with neither side in the right.
