It's actually a terrible story. PM's post on National Day was picked up and Blackberried to thousands of people WITH HER REAL NAME. Although I believe that the most derogatory remarks on that thread were actually made by some others, PM has been hounded and threatened and her life and workplace and phone number have appeared on various websites. She has apologized profusely and is in virtual hiding. The last I heard she may leave the country she has served for 10 years now. Sandeep's identity and phone number was discovered by a fellow QLer who harassed him with constant, middle-of-the-night phone calls. He went out in a blaze of obscenity, hoping the MODS would ban him, which they did. I believe this is a sad and somewhat frightening story for those of us on QL. There are some unpleasant individuals out there who on the basis of a few printed words are perfectly comfortable with attempting to destroy one's personal and private life. Be warned and be careful. I don't want to see this happening again. In fact, I'm surprised to see myself still posting here.
