Subject: RE: SOMEONE FALSE IS POSTING AS KATLAUGHING
In an all inclusive community there will always be criminals. We thought that because we all were of a like mind that we wouldn't be subject to such criminality. To steel someones intelectual property is a terrible crime indeed. But to steel there identity and misrepresent it is the act of more than a criminal. Its the act of a coward. It is far worse than the coward who hides behind anonymity. Our system of trust is such that anyone bcarring a grudge could libel another from hiding and leave no recourse to the wronged party.

The lawyer types will tell us that there is or is not a "Crime of Law" committed here. But some how we need to deal with a "Crime of Place". We need to keep ourselves secure from this rape of identity. Our names and our words are the only way we know each other for the mosr part. I want no one to mistake me or my words so I use my own name but even that is subject to a criminal act and I have no defense. Where do we go with this?

Not a clue. But we have to find a step we can take for our own security. Trust me Katey, and everyone else, if I have something to say it'll come from me and you can always send me a private line to verify.
