It seems disingenuous to set up a rule for members and then goad them into breaking it with your own behavior.

Just to clarify & to set the record straight ~ My rule applies to HQ and my need to have it be strictly for Mock related business...i.e. tech related problems etc.

I don't see how that contradicts what I said....unless you're saying we're free to use non tech issues and issues pertaining to forum operation as material for mocking.

Anyone that knows me even a little bit knows I am absolutely crazed about ones' right to privacy & protecting mine & their personal information...In that aspect, ones' right to it will NEVER be an issue in Mock.

And it isn't an issue on mine. I am not a law breaker. As forum owners we are required to safeguard personally identifiable information; however, we cannot be held responsible for what members choose to reveal about themselves to other forum members.

Regular forum / news group / any online group members are free to iuse whatever info they learn from other members in any way they wish. This is why we should all use a measure of common sense about what we choose to share on any online discussion group. Onceyou make a statement or post a pic online - it's "out there".

At Mock, people here use info they learn about each other from this forum & other forums to mock each other all the time. That is what I did too. At no time did I reveal information I have access to as a forum administrator to anyone here or at any other forum.

People here at Mock have mocked me based on bits of info they learned about me from Mommy Clique and at my forum as well. That may not be nice, but it is not illegal. And I did nothing more than what they did.
