Bugs, I wish you had not brought up sdr’s threat to publish my name and address at a time when I was an anonymous poster on this website. It is in the past and he apologized and I wish to leave it at that. However, I will respond only because it fits in well with the theme and you brought it up. I will never bring this up on my own. Regarding sdr’s post to publish my name and address, it was done in a malicious way because he was angry with my post about Sell Now. My response was, “Hey, you found me” and I explained my situation. I was a little spooked by his fascination with me, and why he would look me up. It was lostkitty who said it was creepy.
It is in poor taste to research somebody who is anonymous on an internet forum and trying to find out their name, address, employer, salary, financial records, or health history. sdr is bent on staying anonymous, but he threatened to publish my name. So for that reason, I now agree it was in poor taste, although at the time I did not realize it.
Back to the point. NODs and tax liens are already published in the newspaper. It is perhaps embarassing but fair to post this information. If you find it bothersome that the tax liens and NODs of individuals are published on forums or newspapers, perhaps you ought to start with the county recorder and request that this be kept private.
The posters did not publish any names, and they put down incomplete addresses. I agreed to stop posting names, and stick with full addresses. The people we are writing about don’t know us, we don’t know them, and they are just data points. Nobody is being embarassed. With this context, what is the harm? Lighten up!
