Like say for instance, I dated a skank for a while, and she totally screwed me over in a tremendous way.

What if I wanted to post her nude pics into every newsgroup I could possibly find?

What problems might arise?

How badly would you want to advertise your poor taste in women?

**Moderator’s note:**

A _lot_ of things could and probably would arise, but enough of 'em would be problems that the Dope and the Reader must refuse to share, however reluctantly.\*
