On what grounds? I don't believe there's anything illegal about posting the name and location of a guy on the interweb. You obviously can't put a bounty on the guy or anything, but warning others about being ripped off should be fine if the facts are correct.



Action One: Posting his user name/name, aliases, and known member forums are one action, agreed, not much of an issue.

Outcome: Well, we've seen the whining and pouting that goes on from both sides in other threads. Done all the time on the boards to remove deadbeats.

Action Two: Posting his address for a "visit" from another Campfire member...what is the probable, instead of the expected/desired, outcome?

Outcome: From lawyers to the Buyer: you were told "No refund", but publically posted the address of the seller for a "visit" by another forum member.

Member: You went to the home with the expectation to speak with/confront the seller, who has already indicated a hostile attitude towards the situation, and you expected "what" to happen. The victim speak of "reasonable man" will have the seller as the aggrieved party in line one of the opening argument. By posting the address publically, you have in fact posted the "bounty" of a refund at stake in the visit.

The lawyers can say it better than I can, but its pretty obvious that the situation can get much worse for all involved.
