Typically I agree. Out in the open, or with evidence. In this case, answering the request for exact names and methods would essentially have been gossip. > Yes, I understand the concept of feeling intimidated, but that > concept is to easy to hide behind for the purpose of slinging around > false accusations. And because someone *can* misuse it the default assumption should be that everyone *will*? That attitude is at least as destructive as the intimidation itself might be. In this case, there have been multiple independent sources corroborating each other. If someone is in distress because it feels intimidated, fears at least as much if not more distress will ensue if it 'goes public,' and you're asked to for help about it -- what do you do? What if multiple people have approached you independently? Do you ignore their concerns until they're 'brave' enough to speak up publicly? Or change things so that intimidation is more difficult? - -- #ken P-|} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Ken.Coar.Org/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Millennium hand and shrimp!" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBRJFrOJrNPMCpn3XdAQJwXQP9GcxzekhURZ71mhcXlEK+N5kuuYxPwsyN q4d9aIY34OhbNL+lqum12p7q64xdTOnu7W76Mqu8UgHwVpYcLQ1tBeqVcnURHmS9 kMaGk96Z62oM0WOExHs4LW31d1QkfRmyEJ6UC3P0cQGPqhDJobMlibrUPE7vKflf psMcP8ggFGg= =2adA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
