freedom and accountability according to Hannity's forum

go to original to see screen-cap of the thread

Everyone likes to google their name every now and then and I'm no different. What IS different, however, is that not only did I find my name but I also found my address and phone number published on the Sean Hannity webforum. It seems someone made an effort to "out" me and encourage some kind of harassment or attack because they disagree with the political message of our Project here. Her post was in response to one of our graphics which one of their members had posted in their forum. This, coming from someone who had the signature line of "~It's about freedom!". I suppose freedom of speech doesn't apply to dissenters in Dovessong's world.

First action that anyone would take would be to contact their forum administrator and have the post deleted. I know how that works. We've had to do that a few times on our own forum. But, wouldn't you know it, the admins at Sean's forum don't have any available contact information. To make things more interesting, there's nowhere on their site to report abuse. Finally, it seems that the ability to REGISTER for participation has been removed for the forum. So any hope of joining the forum and sending a private message to the administrator or moderators is impossible as well. This, from a thread in the forum entitled "Accountability". I guess accountability doesn't apply in Sean Hannity's world.

The ironic twist to this story is the person who posted my information also has a website and all of her personal information is available on the net. And not only that, but this fine Christian lady, as she touts herself on her site, also has pictures of her self, child, and husband publicly posted. Luckily for her, I support the liberal notions of freedom of speech and right to privacy and have refrained from posting her personal information in kind.

I guess what I'm saying is a warning to both liberals and republicans alike: If you are a liberal, expect there to be no respect for your privacy and to see your personal information shared by those who would cause maliciousness or harm to you in the name of god and country. If you are a republican, be careful about whose information you go broadcasting. The next person may not have the good nature that I possess and respond in kind.

And Leah, if you are reading this, please delete my personal information from that thread.

ASAP, if you haven't done it already.

No I just checked. Your info is still public. PM me for how to do this. Very, very important.
