More Save the Pearls drama: NOT COOL

I didn't think I would post anything else about the whole Foyt thing, but I'm posting this now.


DO NOT POST ANY OF VICTORIA FOYT'S PERSONAL INFORMATION ONLINE!!



Someone is going around posting Foyt's personal information on various blogs. This is not cool. Posting someone's personal information (which included her address and phone number) encourages harassment in various different formats. It doesn't matter what Foyt has said or done: there is no excuse for putting out her personal information and putting her and her family at risk. Even if the most that happens is that someone sends her fifty pizzas, that's emotional distress you have no right to put her through. That is harassment and it's not cool.

I don't care if you have decided that you don't like the author. I don't care if you view her book as racist. I don't care if you think that her book is going to cause the downfall of all humanity. (PROTIP: It won't, give us some credit.) There is no excuse for posting someone's personal information online in any way, shape, or form.
