Comments on: Morbid curiousity??? http://www.polimom.com/2006/07/18/morbid-curiousity/ I used to be in the middle, but they keep moving the line! Fri, 21 Nov 2008 03:37:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Lazarus http://www.polimom.com/2006/07/18/morbid-curiousity/#comment-16717 Tue, 25 Jul 2006 16:58:03 +0000 http://www.polimom.com/2006/07/18/morbid-curiousity/#comment-16717 Hello, Sorry for the long delay. I had a heart attack and no one would bring me a laptop to the hospital as it's believed the stress from this issue helped cause it. That's not important, at least not today. The attorneys agree with me so I suspect papers to be filed. I find it interesting that two people (?) who appear not to have any markup language knowledge at all find failing to close an anchor some type of public ridicule. *LMAO* By the way eDwight, as I told you before, Lazarus is a filed DBA, an entity in both the meat and virtual worlds. Stick to the geek stuff. You have someone dumping data in you lap for that and you do a better than fair job of rehashing it and churning it out. Although I don't care much for the one-idea one-page style, it's your choice and it kind of works for you. Hello,

I think it might be easy to make that case. I wonder if you can sue yourself for holding yourself up for public ridicule. I think it might be easy to make that case.

Wrong again. My “on line reputation “, professional reputation, and U.S> Government certified reputation are all connected and the same. That’s three strikes - you’re OUT.

Link & discussions, please. By the way, I used "avatar" instead of alias deliberately because I wanted the emphasize the notion of online persona vs. simply a name. The behavior you evidence behind an alias, and the content you produce as a result, generates a body of work that constitutes an online personality, or avatar.

It's not an avatar, it's an alias. Tons on case law on that. Local radio and television are full of people who use aliases, do they lose their rights because of it? Nope and damage to their AKAs is real damage to the individual. Additionally, as with the case of ashley Morris, I have left numerous links that go to my personal profile. So your argument goes out the window. Why don't you do Polimom another favor and check with Houston Chronicle's legal council about the Supreme Court's ruling some years back concerning the future legal liability she incurred by deleting a post. Look at the TOU or TOS agreement and other instructions on the chron.com message boards. For that matter consider why you use a program like Movable Type on your blog forcing users to submit their posts BEFORE they are published. BTW, thanks Smukke for agreeing I was held up to "public ridicule." I've been in the media business and first went on the air (radio) in 1966. eDwight - that’s easy , yes.
