Okay, so...one quick question

How in the Hell do we keep getting outed?

I would never have expected [so-and-so] to get outed by [lame-and-lamer].
He never really went into Chat that I know of (though few do these days :p), didn't leave his e-mail address on the board, never really did anything that insinuated his real identity, so how the Hell did he get outed?
Honestly though, what gets to me the most though, is how do they get those photos of all their victims?
(Yes, online "bitchilante" groups, I did just refer to our outed posters as victims: choke on it.)

One final thought for all, When in doubt, don't.

And if you have more than one online persona, try, for God's sake, to keep them distinct.
Don't let your quirks and mannerisms which you use here leak into your other online selves.

One thing that the antis are right about is that the Internet really can be a scary place.
Unfortunately, there are all sorts of low-lives and degenerates lurking on it to try and hurt you.

There is one poster who it is killing me not to be able to get into real life contact with, but I can't because of the possible risk of personal injury to self.

On the one hand, I trust this poster implicitly, because the things they say could hardly be invented by an anti, and yet there is that nag that if I tried to extend my real hand instead of my digital one for them to shake it, it might backfire and my arm, cut off.

There needs to be legislation for protecting online privacy.

There needs to be all sorts of stuff that there, frnkly, isn't.

But we, also, need to start showimg some discretion.
And if we are outed, we need to start e-mailing the proper authorities.

Aren't there laws against online stalking?
If not, there is another need.

If we are truly law-abiding citizens, then we should be able to claim the rights of citizens, and demand that our "authorities" start doing something about this problem.

I am aware, that the authorities are likely to be on the other opposite side of us on this, but that doesn't change anything.
"Justice is blind," and while we don't live in an ideal world, those in authority must be held to that standard, whether in the United States, Mexico, the U.K. or anywhere else.

Still, maybe I'm chasing the wind here.

Regardless of the state of our states, we all should act online with supreme discretion, and not leave any footprints connecting this or that online persona; but most of all, we must not do anything illegal or even borderline (because under the right light it would not be borderline)*:

a. for the sake of the child,
b. for our own sake, in the event of an outing.

All that said, I hope that we will be more careful in the future.
(I still haven't gotten that long-coveted Wiki page yet though...)

Thank you, that is all.

* I define "borderline" strictly as any "pubic fondling."
I do not include cuddling, hugging, kissing (even kissing on the lips is fine so long as it's just a peck and doesn't evolve into necking).
But exposing oneself to their little ones, or suggesting that they expose themselves is borderline and downright disrespectful.
