Well, we've already had one person on here lose his job because of dz.com. I just saw a report on the news the other day that colleges and headhunters are now starting to Google applicants names before they even attempt to set them up with interviews. If someone posts to MySpace or other internet forums, such as this one, their online behavior is being considered as part of their application. Sometimes their applications go right into the circular file after seeing what people have posted.

I suppose the same could be true if, for example, you were called to court as a character witness. Things you post online could come back to haunt you in that instance.

I can't imagine in my wildest dreams someone asking me to be a character witness!!!! It's the guilt by association thing. I suppose I would be a better character witness than, say, Charlie Manson, but probably not as good as the Pope.

I could see controversial posts being really damaging to someone who is just out of college and looking for their first real job. That scenario is scary enough as is, but having to worry about internet postings coming back to haunt you would really add some stress.

well, it would sound like, "thank god you were there to support him". i'm not sure why you interpret my compliments as something else, but like i said, i was being sincere.

Sorry I didn't "get" that you were being sincere...I did get though, from your post, you being snide.....maybe you better learn how to make your posts a little clearer next time. This isn't the first time you have "rattled" my cage. Back off.

i have never intended to rattle anyone's cage. i cannot be held responsible for the reactions of others.

Back off.

back off of what? acknowledging that you were supporting one of your friends?

i gotta tell ya, it's tough to be nice to ya. you just don't take it well.

So a buddy of mine is an investigator for a law firm. He investigates insurance fraud, and does side work digging up dirt on witnesses to discredit them. Google is the first thing he always uses. Custody battles typically have character references called. You do the math.

Investigator - $100.00 per hour.
Investigator available for 1/2 day for testimony - $600.00 flat fee
Attorney time spent speaking to investigator - $200.00 per hour
Subpoena and service for deposition of web site poster - $50
Deposition costs - $800.00
Attorney time at depo - still $200/hour

Doing the math would tell me it'll be $2-3k for this.

Easy solution - don't call her. I figure the damage that she could do to her friend pales in comparison to the damage she could do to the female.

I don't want you to be anything to me....take a hint.

i understand. it's just that you seem to have something to say about everything. i figured the easiest way around that was to get along with you. i tried to be supportive to you, through what must have been the Everest of human endeavors, as you tell it.

i am sorry you don't want the support you specifically asked for. all i did was answer the question you asked. i'm sorry you didn't like my answer, but it does not negate the truth.

p.s. when you call me an idiot, or allude to me being an ass, it really hurts my feelings. i will accept any reply you have as a formal apology

I went back and read all of your posts and Bobbi's. Bobbi's make perfect sense to me. Your's, on the other hand, leave me wondering whether you are:

1. Clever with the English language and just playing headgames.
2. Clever with the English language but other than that your brain isn't quite riight.
3. Marching to a different drummer *and* on a different wavelength.
4. Sincere, but really mediocre with the English language.

I'm leaning toward number 1, but number 3 seems like a strong possibility too.

I personally like to think of myself as a 2.

does that mean you consider me an idiot? Bobbi called me an idiot. does that make perfect sense to you?

do you think i'm an idiot Walt? are you telling me it is acceptable to call someone an idiot even if i have rushed to that judgement? please elucidate on how it makes perfect sense to you.

you make so many posts about how warm hearted and understanding you are, please explain to me how Bobbi calling me an idiot makes perfect sense to you. because i just can't believe that a racoon feedin' rodent relocatin' tree hugger like yourself would rush to judgement of another. then again i could be wrong.

after all, you did say,

I'm leaning towards number 1. You need to add passive-aggressive to that somewhere though. He obviously has issues with women since that's who he targets the most.

Number 3 is looking like a stronger possibility. Idiot wasn't in the list. Re-read it if you are not sure.

Does Bobbi calling you an idiot make sense? In a way. Her message is clear. Your's on the other hand, is not.

As for me making posts *about* how warm hearted and understanding I am, I challenge you to find a single post where I talk about how warm hearted and understanding I am. I've made plenty talking about how retarded I am, though. Again, re-read my posts.

Especially re-read the post you are responding to. If you can find a rush to judgement in there, I may have to add a few more choices to the list.

Rather than waste more space in this thread, feel free to PM me.

I may have to add "suicical" or "masochistic" to the list.

but it was in Bobbi's posts, which made perfect sense to you, according to you.

so answer the question Walt. do you consider me an idiot?

Enough already! No personal attacks. If there are masochists in this thread who actually _want_ PA's, go to rec.skydiving and they will happily oblige.
