I knew you weren't American. You must be part of the new United Kingdom movement toward censoring what people can say. (now there's an assumption you can take a bite out of!)....the rest of what you say is simply not true and is proven from facts taken from an article and research off the APPICS Facebook page. Sorry you don't like it but I just didn't spew that stuff out of the back of my head. You can click on the link to see the article and where I got the quotes and you are just as free as I to go look at their Facebook page.
As far as the part in the first article where I believe some of those models are robots that comes from years of blogging where people have posted articles on them. I've seen them first hand and know those slight capabilities of movement are accurate.
What can I say about using an avatar?....The fact when I first started blogging I used my initials and last name when I started blogging locally on news sites. Once it came to light who I was people would go look up my name and address and prompt people to come demonstrate outside my house for not having a pro opinion on immigration....so yeah, anybody can find whoever if they really want to, making it easier for them to do is no longer an option.
