SPOT ON! MTC....
I don't have a problem for MY sake so much as I have a problem with it being disseminated in this manner. And no - I'm not one of those that has a "BBQ" gun and I'll bet you wouldn't know me if you walked down the streets of Salem. Nor would you realize that I was carrying.
I do get your point - that we can't have it both ways... OC, public demonstrations _AND_ ask for privacy. But this is NOT a thread about OC vs CC - Lord knows there are plenty of those out there! This IS about media being reasonable in their approach to disseminating private info. I fear, sir, that you may be generalizing a bit too much in your post above... And lumping us all into various groups as you find convenient.
In actual fact we CAN reasonably ask for it "both ways". As MTC so eloquently put it - it should be on our terms, not theirs... Unlike the sex offenders, we committed no crime - hence, like DL information , it should by rights, be disseminated on OUR terms or for Law Enforcement purposes... nothing more.
