In reply to the discussion: OK this is going to be long, I am highly annoyed right now. *** HOF thread *** [View all]seaglass
(8,183 posts)44. BTW this thread did get alerted, wondering what you think about this.
I think the alert is a bit odd, I mean there is something else that I thought was more alertable. I don't feel that I exposed private/personal info - the names in the post are not anyones REAL name (if they are real names - weird parents). I don't feel that there is some ethical reason that I shouldn't say who they are if I know who it is. Your thoughts? Just to be clear, I'm open to being wrong about this so feel free to share if you think I am.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Linking DI to DU names is OTT. If people wanted their DU identity known on DI, they would have made them the same. This behavior borders on stalking and is creepy at best.
From the TOS:
Respect people's privacy.
Do not post or link to any private/personal information about any person, even if it is publicly available elsewhere on the Internet.

I don't think she was the only one alerting. The Alert Message on your post does not sound like her.
