Right Wing Site Posting My Email Address
I didn't give them permission to list my email address on their site. Is there any action I can take against them?

1. Do this
When they email you, take their email address and sign them up to all kinds of crappy mailing lists. Anything involving goats and pigs would be appropriate.

2. I don't know. Freepers once tried to post my home address
Edited on Tue Feb-17-04 05:35 PM by Mountainman
But they got the city wrong. I was hoping some of those goons would try stalking me so I could sew rimjob.

They were angry at the way I treated them on another board back in 2001.

3. It might be quite illegal...
It might be quite illegal, depending on what state/county you are located in.

4. I had a bunch of personal info posted on FR once..
chicken-shits didn't do anything about it though. They would rather scare and intimidate at a distance... most of them find this to be their only source of self-esteem

5. Contact Their ISP
They may have violated their Terms of Service, and may get their service terminated.

6. I gotta ask...
What did you do to get your e-mail addy posted?

Regarding getting it removed, I doubt there is anything you can do about it unless the site has rules against it. I've seen this happen quite often.

Just setup your SPAM filters and be ready for it. The last time it happened to me, I got more gay porn than you could imagine. I just switched e-mails, no biggie.

10. Isn't it funny how the homophobe Freepers
...knew enough about all the gay porn websites so they could sign you up?

Wonder why that is? Did Drudge forward them his bookmark file? ;)
