I just read this and a few other posts. You should step back from following Soalone over an ethical line. I know he's nuts but are you too?

These fantasies that you guys are nurturing of ruining someone's life over an internet argument are sick. Soalone has already vainly tried to contact people he thinks are related to an obscure historical figure he reveres in hopes they would sue me for mocking the memory of the guy. Get that? If I mock the memory of his atheist hero from the last century he wants someone to take me to court! Of course, not everyone is as nutty as him so that won't happen. No worries there. But it does show how fanatical he is.

Now you two are muttering about how you know some person's identity and you're imagining sicing some relatives who work in law enforcement on them, barging into their church and embarrassing them, and who knows what else. .... this is all very twisted. And it's probably a violation of SI's TOU. There is stuff there about harassment, invasion of privacy, etc. If you persist in this, I think you should both be separated from the SI community as other folks have been in the past.

I considered ignoring this and letting you two go over the edge, but I guess the right thing ( and yes, the Christian thing) to do is issue a warning. This is it. You guys are talking about crossing an ethical line. Cut it out. You'll only end up hurting yourself and making yourselves look loonier.
