<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 6553625, member: 110350&quot;]You are so unwilling to admit that you&#039;re wrong that you&#039;ve backed yourself into a completely ridiculous and untenable corner. Reading information in public posts from 9 and 17 years ago -- Forvm posts can be read by anyone -- does not equal &quot;overhearing&quot; a private conversation by any definition. Especially when the information has been widely disseminated in subsequent years -- so much so that I couldn&#039;t even remember where I first read it, and thought initially it might have been in one of the auction catalogs themselves.. Your analogy is absurd.&nbsp; If the information is so confidential, and mentioning it amounts to scurrilous &quot;gossip,&quot; then why didn&#039;t you object to its disclosure in that 2012 thread, in which you yourself posted <u>after</u> the identification was made? Why didn&#039;t you seek to have the post removed? Why didn&#039;t you inform BCD then, or even back in 2004, that his identity had been made public, so he could take any steps he thought necessary to preserve his privacy? Your complete silence at the time, and for so many years thereafter, can only be interpreted as acquiescence. It&#039;s far too late to complain about it now.&nbsp; Especially to someone who had no idea in the first place that anyone still viewed the identification as private. And especially when you can&#039;t possibly show that I did any harm by mentioning the identification, after so many have done so long before me.</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re better than this. I&#039;m tempted to repeat the famous comment that Faye Dunaway, playing Joan Crawford, made to the Pepsi board of directors in Mommie Dearest. But I&#039;m much too polite. Still, the sentiment applies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
