NO...i would not associate with anyone that has the notion to out a person in our community. blasting someone’s personal info, for anybody in the outside world to see, no matter what the circumstances, is just straight up wrong. that is a corruptive act, that in the end, becomes so detrimental to our community. the offenders responsible, imo, are just being vindictive, and unjust in their actions, and have no respect for the hobby. excessive texting, can be disturbing and wrong, for so many different reasons, but no matter the circumstances, should be handled appropriately, and avoid the outing of the culprits personal info for everyone to see. for obvious reasons, why draw anymore attention to the hobby than what is necessary?
ive had, what i consider, excessive texting, usually in the form of solicitation (no surprise), and at different times, almost on a daily basis. as a matter of fact, on one occasion, it was from a provider that is known for outing. it was sometimes annoying, but i just handled it with short, friendly replies. i thought about blocking, but didn’t feel that concerned about it. seems harmless, right? but had the situation been harsh and threatening, i would say my piece to them, be my typical smart ass, then simply block the person if they become disruptive. i would probably bring it up in the ML, but i wouldn’t go as far as blasting info about them that would only worsen the situation.
