Well, you need to play it close to the vest, particularly if you know that there are people who want to fuck with you.
If this guy really did drive across several states to take a picture of the plaintiff's house, I would think that the revelation that he's that much of a sorry-ass is punishment enough.
I don't buy all that "pain and suffering" shit. You sound like a trial lawyer. Of course, you are a lefty . . .
I'd be curious to know how they managed to get private legal info. If they were able to obtain it, my guess is, it isn't private. For example, I was looking up some old colleagues on Google, and I found a court document for one who was being arraigned on charges of possession of child pornography. If you can Google it, it's not exactly private.
I also had a colleague on the job market who'd been stupid enough to write a letter to a local paper expressing a conservative opinion. It came up in a Google search between the time he was called for an on-campus interview and the interview itself. The letter came up, in casual conversation during one of the meet-and-greet the candidate sessions, and he didn't get the job. Cause and effect? Who can say? But I certainly have my suspicions, what with someone coming right out and saying that they didn't think their department should hire a candidate in favor of the War in Iraq during one of the MLA sessions this year.
What scares me is that harrassment is now defined solely by the person who perceives him or herself to be harrassed. If this method of definition filters to the internet, and it is decided by a court that online harrassment is actionable, that'll be the end of Number_6.
