1. [OT, sorta] EuWiki
I HAVE to comment on this crazy wiki discussion. The issue is PRIVACY...!
I have been on this EUforum (mostly lurking) for a long, long time as jxliv7.
Some of you know me as jon, you may even know I live in Fort Worth, Texas. But
only Rob knows who I am.
Jeurgen in right. There is NO reason to publish anyone's name or other details
on the internet without their permission. You may argue it's only a name, or
possibly a list of people involved with Euphoria, but perhaps you haven't had an
identity stolen. You may say it's all in fun, but it is a blatant disregard for
the rights of any individual's privacy. Some people would rather not be in any
spotlight. If it's deliberate, you're an childish idiot.
And if you don't think privacy is worth a lawsuit, do some googling.
Juergen's beef isn't about the wiki, and it has nothing to do with his work,
education, or with helping or sharing about Euphoria. It's privacy. Doesn't a lot
of sharing about Euphoria go on in private emails?
I take my privacy very personally, too. I'm not a doomsday fanatic, I'm not
hiding anything. I only get involved in the fights I can fight. If I wanted to
get attention, I'd be a politician. Instead, I stay in my private corner of the
world with everything I want and need.
Why not let Juergen do the same?
Emphatically,

Thanks a lot for your post. Although I think I couldn't express myself as
well as you did, your post clearly shows, that what I wrote actually was
understandable.
And I am happy to see, that here are other people araound, who regard
privacy as an important commody, that must be protected.
Best regards,
Juergen
