I can't believe there's an argument about it. I lost sleep over this last night. I take this very seriously even if others don't. I'm not worried about strange lurkers, Kenny. And there's nothing IMO that's funny about any of this. But, I'm not going to argue or try to defend what I've done in trying to help a young girl stay out of trouble. Jgoo, as far as I'm concerned can find another moderator. I'm sick of it. |

Edit - posted in response to Deb's post, not the in-between posts.
I think there's also the issue of setting up boundaries, even informally in this way. What tends to happen if no boundary is set is that the line gets pushed back little by little and nobody really notices it happening. It would be a shame if this happened here. What MP posted was pretty harmless, and was meant only in fun, but at some point, it stops being innocent fun, and we're all worse off. |

Klotz, Thank you for editing your post. Caroline and I both are extremely upset over this. It's not funny. I know you were trying to inject humor and I can appreciate that but it's not humorous at all. Thank you, Peggy |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

Amen. Back in the OCR I had a pretty pointed discussion with KathyK. At the time, she had posted up enough personal info that I knew where she lived, where she worked, her real name. With that type of information, it's a very easy thing to blow into town for a couple of days, establish a person's routines through observation, and leave them dead in a road ditch somewhere with very few clues left as to the killer's identity. On the 'net there are just some things that are not fit subjects for public discussion or perusal. |

here's another thing not a lot of you may realize...especially in forums that have a history of people meeting places, like at performances or for dinners, there is a lot of precedent for lurkers who observe enough information to figure out when someone will be away from home, having deduced enough about them from prior posting to know where that home is, and take advantage of knowing they're at some performance, or are on vacation, to rob them (or their parents) blind. It's not always so personal as obsession, sometimes it's just opportunism. |

To find Kathyk coordinates was a piece of cake ! I also remember one picture posted by PianoJerome. It was meant to show the mess in his tiny dorm room. On the floor, there was a big yellow enveloppe with all his name/address details. Careless Sam. Another piece of paper contained his registration details to some info site ( thanks Sam ).

No way, ma'am ! No thief would bear the terrible boredom of piano forums just to find out when someone will leave his home and then rob him of his Henle editions ! No way ! |
