I think this what RRY was insinuating (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/anonymox/) ... there's plenty of free add-ons now for Firefox or Chrome that enable your IP to be from anywhere you chose. Plus VPN's. If you travel a lot, you should really use a VPN fwiw. Keep your stuff secure.
The bottom line is the location of the IP in today's world with spoofing, etc. is next to meaningless for proving the location the person is at. On top of spoofing and all the readily available methods/add-ons to do this -- many times if you sign in at a hotel or other location they route their traffic through another location of the public internet, which also providing misleading IP location information.
That's easy to disprove. You can simply check my post history, it is full of messages. Many of them mentioning I'm from Brazil and not one person questioned that, even the ones against my opinions. No? https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...-florida-shooting.318516/page-15#post-4612876 And in this same thread: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/give-up-my-guns.320633/page-17#post-4657088 Yeah, this is what motivated the question in my last post to you. So I'll ask again: How did you come to the brilliant conclusion that I'm lying about being from Brazil? I'm curious...
Guns are inanimate objects you utter moron. Sane people don't blame inanimate objects. The shooter is always responsible, first and foremost. Personal responsibility is anathema to liberals so you can't grasp that.
That's why Magna might be able to provide some clarity. If the guy has nothing but IPs from South America, well then. If he's posting from New York mostly, well then.
Again, I ask if you guys think this person has been using spoofing software to post on this site to indicate he was from Brazil, on the remote chance someone would call bullshit to him being from Brazil on the few occasions the subject finally came up, so he could say "gotcha" or something. Sometimes I don't get you guys.
I wonder how many guns walked into that school that day and shot themselves off. Those damned inanimate objects.
