Personal Information
Talk about an invasion of privacy! I don't know if they are referring to this forum or not.

The market for personal data about Internet users is booming, and in the vanguard is the practice of "scraping." Firms offer to harvest online conversations and collect personal details from social-networking sites, résumé sites and online forums where people might discuss their lives. In May, Nielsen Co. scraped private forums where patients discuss illnesses.

"Aren't you being a bit sensitive? Disagreeing or commenting on opinion/information isn't attacking or disrespectful."
If I was upset, I'd be being sensitive. I'm simply making an observation in general and added that I'm amused...or rather the one-word comment of "Amusing" to be precise. Not sure where the sensitivity comes in unless it's that I'm rather prone to mirth in these circumstances.
Commenting on an opinion isn't attacking or disrespectful - until personal biases and agenda come into play. Intent isn't about honest debate anymore, it's about one-upmanship and finding subtle ways to attack. Some people like to hide behind the supposed nobility of their intent to simply get at the truth when really, it's to get at the person. There is a reason the phrase "wolf in sheep's clothing" came into being. Alllll about intent. Like Mike's comments to me - lovely compliments. Aren't they?
Of course, this is just my opinion. As for the rest of it with regards to fake identities and people posting whatever they want behind a fake name and it being untouchable or so they think, a matter for the courts apparently and that's why I posted the articles. Examples of actual circumstances where identities can be ordered revealed by courts. I had a similar thing happen with an ex-boyfriend and the police got involved. Fake identities and emails being sent to people....I didn't know it was him and was shocked to find out. He was very very computer savvy. But they found him anyway. Found the articles interesting and relevant and thought I'd post them for others like Deb and myself who have been targeted by people hiding like behind a fake identity as if that makes them untouchable. People can take away whatever is useful to them and leave the rest behind.

Awww Mike.....so sweet of you to say. Always have such lovely things to say to people in your own special way. Have to give the credit where credit is due though. it was Deb - nygirl - who decided to educate us about people taking out false identities. Have to thank her for that for sure, it was certainly overlooked in the thread until she brought that into it. Certainly enlightening to me. Thanks Deb!!!

Well you're the lawyer apparently or lapdog to one. I'm simply posting articles on cases that have gone before the courts. Somehow that seems to invite attacks. Then again, I could say the sky is blue and that would be sufficient. Amusing.
