I haven't because of your name, address, etc. having to be included which every nut job in town can then get (only your name is on the article). Then follows potential harassment and such. You know if you write a pro gun letter, MDA and others will come crawling out of the woodwork. So, how would you handle this conundrum?
Your name will be printed, but not any other personal information. You can request that your name not be printed, but it is up to the paper whether or not to publish your letter.
As they say, it's a double edged sword. Anonymous people can say a lot of untrue and inflammatory stuff if they know that nobody knows said it.
Some people try to do the same thing on this forum.
