We have consumer warnings here for online schools that screw over their students, shouldn't we also have a consumer warning for online "discussion" boards that serve as fodder for stalkers?
In particular I'm looking at this thread, where Gollin whines because the poster "Respectable Gent" keeps disagreeing with him.
In response, the klones close the thread and ban the guy--twice. But not satisfied with that, then they start stalking him.
Sainz shares the guy's IP addresses, Sainz and Gollum start trying to get a physical location, THEN Klempner looks up the guy's home address, phone number and info about the guy's wife!!!
THEN Klempner makes crank calls to the guy's work and home phone numbers!!!
The clear message is that anybody who naively attempts to engage the klones in discussion on the issues but doesn't happen to agree with their party line will be subjecting themselves to all manner of privacy invasion and coarse harassment.
Like the old Monty Python sketch...you want an argument, but you get "being-hit-on-the-head lessons." You want to talk DL issues, but your wife gets a phone call from a repulsive stalker!!!!
