Online Impersonations: No Validation Required
http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/441?ref=rssI've said it before: there's certainly no privacy in the online world (be prepared to accept the consequences of anything you do put online), but the risk of this sort of behavior is relatively small. Just as stalking in the real world is a relatively small risk, cyberstalking (in one form or another) is also a relatively small risk. Not unknown, and paying some attention to watching your back is appropriate, but just as I'm not going to live paranoid in the real world, I'm not going to live paranoid online either.
