What about posting sar's full name?
What about people who are disabled or in a coma and unable to object?
What about people who are not reading the board at that time and would not know to object?
Is your policy that anyone can post anything about anyone(as long as it is civil) without regaurd to truth? For instance can I post that poster X is unable to post because he is in jail?
And will this be left on the board unless he requests it to be removed? Is it okay to post that someone who hasn't been heard from lately is dead? How would they know to protest if they no longer read the board? My thought was that not allowing this would protect the board from the anguish of reported suicides,etc. as well as protecting individual privacy. You may not be aware that the recent report of a comatose poster caused a lot of pain and discomfort among posters here.Thanks.
