I also think that anyone even toying with the idea of printing this out and mailing it to my husband  
[/QUOTE]

Toying with the idea, ya say? Heck I toyed with the idea. I would never hunt through previous posts or try to get personal information in any way–even in a totally easy and legal manner. Nor do I have your husband’s contact information. Even if I had access to Cecil’s magic rolodex, I’d be legally and ethically bound not to use that information. So it’s not a threat. But I’ve been in his position before, and I’ve got plenty of sympathy for him. And if I somehow ran into him in an elevator and, for whatever reason, figured out who he was, you can bet we’d be discussing this thread, the SDMB, and some searches he ought to do. And I’d be hooking him up with a referral to the best divorce lawyer in town.

I doubt I’d enjoy it. He’d be sad. But at least he’d have a shot at not supporting a cheater anymore.

Do you think you’ve got some sort of right not to be outed for cheating? Why?

By anonymous people on a message board I’ve frequented for more than five years? Absolutely. Now, if someone IRL happened upon this and decided to do so, that’s their prerogative, but people I don’t even know have no business threatening me like that.

Is that even allowed or acceptable here? I think those threatening to meddle in my private life and throwing that intent in my face should be moderated.

[QUOTE=Guinastasia]  
Wait a minute-SHE gave us the info, all **Equipoise** did was say he confirmed it. Other Dopers have done likewise. Yeah, he threatened to spill the beans, but I’m sure he’s not the only one.

That’s the risk you take when you post all this shit online.

And the mods said that that better stop.

Did I miss a username change announcement? Why was that allowed? I thought we weren’t allowed to run from our stupid posting choices by changing our usernames.

Note this was actually said by MizGrand, not RSSChen. Makes me wonder if we have a Sock here.

edit - WTF? Name change? Okay then.

Ssh. It’s part of her secret identity-hiding plan, a product of her superior intelligence.

Clever, you see? She wanted to slip off while leaving the RSS moniker on her previous posts, leaving us none the wiser.

Yes, _we’re_ the “nasty people.”

I’d imagine one can find a lot more on Google searching “RSSchen” than “MizGrand.” IMO, however, changing one’s board name and then posting in the same threads does not suggest she’s trying to hide particularly well.

Once it’s on the Internet, it cannot be deleted. It’s on cache servers, it’s on people’s hard drives, and it’s on websites that you can’t edit. There’s no way to put that toothpaste back in the tube.

If she actually thinks that it’s possible to _remove information about herself_ from the internet, she’s definitely not as bright as she thinks. She could delete everything she personally put online (theoretically, since she’d need someone else to delete what she posted here), and it wouldn’t matter. Ten years from now, it would still be out there. That’s the nature of the Internet. Once you put something on it, you can _never get it back_.

Yeah, and I wonder if she realizes that you can still search on her old name and come up with posts she’s either been referenced in or has been quoted in. So a name change is a 50% solution.

I’m betting her user name had some connection to her real life (so that her husband would easily be able to connect it to her), so she’s changing in order to further hide her deceit from him or her real life acquaintances.

That sounds pretty obvious all written out :smack: . I mean it’s probably like my user name…if you know me in real life it’s obvious how I came up with it and it’s a nickname my husband uses for me, as well. If my husband decided to read the SDMB, he’d know instantly that my posts were mine.
