-
- Does any rape/abuse victim/survivor's identity belong in this news group
- without their explicit consent - even if their name has been mentioned?
-
- I vote no. Stop now. Hurtfully dragging the identity of a person who
- is already needing to be more in control of his/her life through usenet
- continually is bad. Possible prior errors in judgement are not a good
- enough reason to be hurtful.
-
- That said it is not always best to be overly protective of victims,
- either, for roughly the same reasons. I have this failing however,
- and have to be careful thereof - and am also guilty of prior errors in
- judgement on similar matters.
-
- I would be glad to recieve an e-mail address from the of >> quoted
- material. I have not managed to reach him with several tries.
