I don't want anyone -- including me -- to get into trouble for the
stuff I say in chat rooms. If someone else gets into trouble, my
sympathy for them will be overbearing and I might eventually feel the
need to confess.
I support individuals, I don't want any individual to be harmed by my
text.
How do I do this?
Also, is it possible to use an IP address that will not yield results
when looked up.

I'm not sure. But I've heard of real IP addresses being masked by fake
ones. However, ultimately, a determined person can trace the chat text
back to the originating IP address.
For an additional measure of security, I would like to mask my IP
address when posting text in chat rooms with my secure dream laptop
[which includes phased unidirectional transmitting antenna]. However,
I don't want anyone else being socially-condemned for the stuff I
write. That's a concern I would have.
The fake dynamic IP address would have to appear to be from an open
public internet cafe in some other part of the world. This would make
it very difficult to trace back to any single individual. I want the
IP to be dynamic as well, because chat rooms might IP-ban me for my
socially-unacceptable text.
Once again, the stuff I would like to write in chat rooms is protected
by the 1st amendment. Hence, it is totally-legal. However, it is so
taboo, perverse, and deviant that my life -- and that of my family/
friends -- would be in danger if the public found out it is me writing
that stuff. The public outrage would be so intense that the police
would not be able to protect me no matter how hard they try.

If you think about it, there is no way to maintain a 2 way conversation if
the other end doesn't know how to get back to you, which it won't if you
give it a duff return address.
It is fundamental to TCP/IP.
