Sorry that's happened, LG. Those are pretty sick individuals if they post that stuff publicly. I can understand your concern for your wife's security. My wife wouldn't like that stuff either.

Take care!

LG, I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but have you considered obtaining restraining orders, seeking prosecution under the anti-stalking laws, seeking prosecution under the RICO (anti-racketeering) statute, etc.? Maybe you should see a good criminal lawyer (I'm just a plain old labor lawyer, so I don't know much about these things).

Good luck dealing with these issues...

so I recently removed the links to the site from my online profiles. I did not realize that domain name registration information is made public<<<<

Sorry to hear this post LG, this new board on IHUB has been quite close to the ideals and terms of use of your original board set up in 98 (except for me dogging augie about too many indicators -ggg-)

I don't believe anybody has real anonimity who regularly uses the internet, there are surely hacks to get your personal information, even if you have never revealed it in chat rooms.

SI is a real cesspool, I applaud IHUB for keeping these boards clean and on topic, SI advertises "quality message boards", it's a joke. IHUB, Traders-talk, Crystal Ball have quality boards that keep people on topic, Silicon Investor has done it's best to run off quality posters and protect idiots, though they have the best base of posters since they were there first, the guys that started SI in their garage (-lol-) are probably rolling over in the $1000 bills and saying what a travesty that has become of their beautiful concept -g-

Investor message boards are not about freedom of speech, idbo, you have plenty of free speech on the internet, you can make your own home page and publish anything your heart desires, however

Investor message boards should serve a market of people interested in this particular subject and should be moderated, just as your behavior would be moderated in a public place. I don't think you can get away with dropping your pants and dancing an irish jig while your waiting in line at McDonald's to order a burger and fries, but i have seen people on SI do their own version of that in public -ggg-

Now some of your troubles are also self-inflicted, it takes two to tango, keep that in mind, thats my problem too -g-

I hope to God that none of your worries about personal assault are true, i don't think they are, but there are some nutcases in this world that get obsessed with people.

I have not always agreed with the you or the way have dealt with your detractors (so what, that's the general way of things, everybody has their take, that's what makes markets),

but in general I think you have brought a high standard, and a set of ideals, that most everybody should aspire too.

and thats why i remain your cyberfriend and amigo, going on about 5 years now.

deuce bigalow -g-

LG

Sorry to hear that "web" problems might turn in a real world situation. There are a lot of wierd and sick people out there.

I'll not mention names but some that I have previously thought were "good" people have shown "the other side" even if indirectly.

Good luck

LG, I'm sorry to hear about this and that you have to go through such a lousy situation. I can fully understand your desire to not be on the board as much and what a bad taste this must leave in your mouth. But I do hope that after some time you'll consider coming back - surely driving you off the boards will only give these folks satisfaction. And I think that - at least at Ihub - the environment is positive and constructive. Best wishes to you!
