Agreed. Theft of personal information found online and then used to call up and bluff into someone's bank account, etc is more and more common. Search on yourself online and find how much is out there...your home address as part of the Little League newsletter, your phone number in a post on MM, your spouse's name on FaceBook, you mother's maiden name on Ancestry.com, your workplace and title on a trade show exhibitor list, etc.
We are no longer on the playground at 4th grade recess. You can not just punch out someone because they think you are stupid for using a bow or hunting over grain in Texas or paying $2000 to hunt a turkey, etc. Now, if they insult your mother then is a different matter. Nothing said on MM has every made me blow a gasket. Nothing. Different stokes for different folks.
