Arpeggio - Keeper, Muse, Against Sequiturs, à propos of nothing in particular Started conversation Jul 12, 2001
It is fundamentally RUDE to do anything online that would be rude in Real Life. Just because you have the anonymity of the Internet to conceal your identity does not mitigate, justify, or make acceptable any behaviour which would normally be considered anti-social, such as snooping.
It is totally obnoxious to quote anyone out of context in another conversation. It is particularly obnoxious if that conversation takes place where the person quoted might stumble across it. It is SPECTACULARLY obnoxious if you were not part of the original conversation! Would you put up with such behaviour from anyone in Real Life? Then don't do it on the Internet.
How would *you* feel if you were 'Exhibit A'? Would you enjoy knowing your every word and comment was being picked apart by the community-at-large? Would this be good for your sense of trust? Would it encourage a positive attitude toward the community? Would you feel even slightly SAFE? Cyberstalking is real, and it is as creepy as - if somewhat less dangerous than - Real Life stalking. Stalkers are sickos. Cyberstalkers are also sickos. That is not a technical term, it is an insult. Go away!
If you can't go away, have the gonads to sign the guestbook. We'll respect you for it. Otherwise... well, we hope *you* never have reason to feel unsafe and spied upon. It's a horrid feeling .

And I'm sure that they'd appreciate it, and respect you for it, Galen, as well as appreciating that you've taken the time to try to figure out what's going on here. They had been avoiding this site pretty much completely, except when a friend who is still here brought something to their attention. The absurdity of the current situation, would be laughable if it hadn't opened up old wounds that *had* been pretty well healed.

I left part out. The current situation has also victimized both/all Symphony and LeKZ, which also makes it less that laughable.
