Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 It came to my attention that someone in this group has taken our private messages and has posted them on a message board. You can find it here: http://www.vegetarian-society.org/my_forums/viewtopic.php?f=39 & t=5979 I don't know about others, but I am not all that comfortable with that. If you want to tell people about what is discussed on this list you can paraphrase on your own. But to take our actual messages and post them seems a bit odd. In addition, they copied/pasted my entire blog article in response to the LA Times article (a copyright violation in America and they didn't even give author credit). Hmm...

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I second that Jacqueline. While I don't post all that often, I do read what you and others talk about and I think what you found here is a gross missappropriation of information. Not only is it a copyright issue, it's unethical and potentially exploitative of children, too. melissa --- On Tue, 12/15/09, Jacqueline Bodnar <jb wrote: Jacqueline Bodnar <jb posting our messages Tuesday, December 15, 2009, 7:05 AM  It came to my attention that someone in this group has taken our private messages and has posted them on a message board.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Not everything on the internet is free game...I teach this to my students all the time. There are times when there is a " reasonable expectation " certain information remains within a group. For example a support group for grieving widows/widowers or for AIDs sufferers. If their identities are inadvertently revealed, then there could be serious legal ramifications. melissa --- On Tue, 12/15/09, robin koloms <rkoloms wrote: robin koloms <rkoloms Re: posting our messages Tuesday, December 15, 2009, 9:02 AM  I know that there is not privacy on the internet, but that is really horrid! ____________ _________ _________ __ Jacqueline Bodnar <jb@jacquelinebodnar .com> @gro ups.com Tue, December 15, 2009 6:05:26 AM posting our messages  It came to my attention that someone in this group has taken our private messages and has posted them on a message board.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I contacted the site where our messages were posted and asked that they remove them. I just heard back and he was pleasant and said that the Webmaster is away for a couple of days, but he will have it taken care of upon his return. He also asked me why we would not want those ideas shared/posted. I explained that they were exchanged in a private group for parents raising vegetarian kids and we would rather they weren't posted to a public forum/message board without our consent.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Oh wow, that is a little scary and upsetting!! I see my message to you regarding that article. I write that in confidence that only this group is reading my personal messages. Jacqueline, have you tried contacting this site to complain? I don't feel comfortable with that at all and unfortunately, may not want to post many more messages!! --- On Tue, 12/15/09, janeen minguillo <jminshan wrote: janeen minguillo <jminshan Re: posting our messages Tuesday, December 15, 2009, 9:42 AM  i post occassionally, and feel that this is a trusted environment. please do not copy our posts. ____________ _________ _________ __ Melissa Rinehart <mel_rinehart@ > @gro ups.com Tue, December 15, 2009 9:14:20 AM Re: posting our messages  I second that Jacqueline. While I don't post all that often, I do read what you and others talk about and I think what you found here is a gross missappropriation of information. Not only is it a copyright issue, it's unethical and potentially exploitative of children, too. melissa --- On Tue, 12/15/09, Jacqueline Bodnar <jb@jacquelinebodna r .com> wrote: Jacqueline Bodnar <jb@jacquelinebodna r .com> posting our messages @gro ups.com Tuesday, December 15, 2009, 7:05 AM  It came to my attention that someone in this group has taken our private messages and has posted them on a message board.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I agree... the only reason I found this one was because I was looking at the referring URL's to my blog. Someone from the blog had clicked to go to my blog and it recorded that site address. Otherwise I would not have known about it... ------- Re: posting our messages " Gretchen Goel, Wellness Coach " <gretchen Tue, December 15, 2009 10:12 am I agree, it is unethical and kind of creepy. I have to wonder where else this person has posted other messages from this group if they are posting to the Vegetarian Society of Singapore?

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I hope that person who posted it will have the maturity to apologize... ________________________________ Jacqueline Bodnar <jb Wed, December 16, 2009 6:07:41 AM posting our messages  FYI... the site contacted me this morning and said they went to remove our messages that had been posted and they were already gone. So the person who posted them saw our discussion about it in the group yesterday and took it upon themself to delete it all.
