Joab, would the magnet thing actually work?!
No clue
I thought it was a CSI reference as a way of pointing out that we should be concerned about what we say in netland being used against us, I am
any non-specific info/ guidance/ advice you could share relating to "comments made in an open forum can bite you in the butt" would be most appreciated.
Comments I have made regarding a particular incident have been repeated to me by people I have not shared those comments with in person and who are not to my knowledge members of the particular forum
Assets I have spoken of are now verifiable and are being used against me
I made the mistake of mentioning my screen name to a neighbor kid who happens to be the cousin of someone I would not have shared that info with
Others I know have been able to figure out who I am by my screen name, location, or me specific things I have said
As a side note
According to one of my wife's Christian Viet cousins my screen name here means "kills many people"
What are the chances that a prosecutor would run with that
Just as an exercise once I decided to google some info on an ex girlfriend that I had not seen in about twenty years, here is what I found in about 30 minutes on with no help or money involved
She has been married three times
She had a substance abuse problem
Her last husband cheated on her with a younger girl
Her current relationship beat her up,
The court did not grant her support because
According to court records her new baby isn't his
She also has four traffic tickets and has had five addresses in the past seven years and is a Motley Crue fanatic,a stripper/hairdresser, was extremely naughty in the late 80's ( too bad we broke up in the early 80's probably because she wasn't) and wants to move to LA
I also know her present address (verified) and her baby's name her car make, year color and even plate number(verified)
There is much more that I found out but can not remember it all and it would be boring
If I can find all that with no real computer/stalker ability what do you think a determined stalker/PI could find
