> [@Blue Ruin](#): > > She made her post on Stage Manager’s LiveJournal, where he had already openly admitted that he was a former sex offender, so she wasn’t warning anyone of anything they didn’t know. Tuba posted in the child molester’s private journal, where he has control over the post? I didn’t know that. Didn’t he delete it right away? Why is this a huge privacy issue for anyone else if it was done in his own journal, where he has complete editorial control? > [@BlueRain](#): > > What she DID let people know was his full name and address, and that she had, as an administrator of this board, received a PRIVATE report that SM was talking to a minor on this board. She did not use any private information garnered from her position here to post his information which the State of California makes available to the public. Any interest SM had in his communication with the minor was dispensed with when he hit the send button. At that point, it wasn’t private anymore, it was the minor’s too. The minor did what he/she wanted with it. > [@BlueRain](#): > > Stage Manager admits to online communications with an underage board member, so he now has an idea who reported him - UNLESS it was an unfounded accusation, then he’s going to wrongly suspect whoever he was talking to of reporting him. Either way, she made it a lot harder for SM to be caught at anything improper he may or may not have been doing, and TubaDiva has violated the privacy of whomever reported the supposed improper communications. I am definitely more concerned with the privacy of the minor than SM. Which is the primary reason why **Tuba** , Ed, the Reader, are all foreclosed from discussing this issue further. Instead, they have to sit and take whatever shit posters who have absolutely nothing at stake, question their integrity. > [@BlueRain](#): > > I’d say both Stage Manager and whoever reported him to TubaDiva have grounds for a lawsuit against the Chicago Reader for her actions. You’re just plain wrong. I’ve found no example of a message board ever being held legally responsible for a post made on the board, let alone one made on a completely different board. Especially when there is no indication of any legally cognizable injury. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/tubadiva-is-back-as-an-admin-after-less-than-30-days-how-do-you-feel/294470)._
