In reply to What constitutes shared information?, posted by LlurpsieNoodle on April 18, 2007, at 13:44:22
Lurps,
You have hit the nail on the head. I have had the exact same problems you are having/had. Things do get posted on abble which over time, someone can glean info about you. No doubt.
The things that have happened to me are proof.
>>>>>However, it's inappropriate to share that information that is contained in a private babblemail with the public world wide web via psychobabble channels.
>>>>>What I would be interested in knowing is whether a private babblemail communication from person A to person B should be communicated to person C, after person A makes it very clear that person B should not share person A's personal communication.
>>>>>Does that constitue a blockable offense? What about if person B has a pattern of this behavior. Don't worry LlurpsieNoodle. You can trust me [not to post this on psychobabble]. Can I trust person B not to pass this information onto person C? What about person D? E? F?
This has happened to me - you have every right to mad and angry and actually, enraged. Unfortunately, as far as I know - it is not a blockable offense. Posters can pass around other babblemails to other posters (& even SOLICIT!) other posters to get private communications.
In fact, someone can post personal info about someone IRL, as long as they aren't babblers. Doesn't seem fair, to give out personal info when you in fact are "anonymous". I'm pretty upset/sickened by the recent turn of events in my life & babble hasn't, nor will be, the same for me.
>>>>>In babble-world however, there is absolutely no justification for person B to tell others information about another person.
I totally agree.
>>>>>There are several reasons why person B should not tell person C private information about person A.
>>1) it compromises the trust that persons A and B have between one another
>>2) it compromises an agreement that babblemailers make via their participation in babblemail: that information shared in babblemail- no matter how innocent or trivial or irreleant or urgent or important - should never be posted on psychobabble boards.
>>3) if person A WANTS person C to know something personal about himself, then person A has the opportunity to tell persona C himself. There is no need for facilitation, no matter how "nice" it may feel to connect people who share something [personal and private] in common.
>>4) it compromises the trust that others have in person B. Once person B starts telling others personal information about person A, why would person B be trusted to keep anybody's information confidential?
I suspect there are many reasons why people feel compelled to share info that is not their own - including everything from innocent slips of the tongue to malicious revenge.
I am smarter and stronger despite all this. My PTSD has seriously been triggered - but I have some pit-bull lawyers to take care of those who continue to give me grief.
Babblers: be warned about seeming privacy and the myth of anonymity of the internet. Be careful of who you speak to and who you trust. Be careful about what you post and the info contained therein. I've been burned, others have been burned. The internet can be a tool or a weapon.
I am really sorry all this has happened to you - no one deserves that.
