Quick note

[cnoocy]

I've been keeping track of the discussion that is being called RaceFail09 on rydra_wong's lj. I don't have anything really deep to say about it, because I am very much reading and learning. But I do want to say this:

Publicizing any personal details, including their legal name, about someone who has requested that those details stay private is horrendously offensive and not to be easily forgiven. And you cannot make the argument that your target justified your behavior by saying bad things about your real name in public if you chose to participate in a discussion under your real name. You both brought a persona to the table, and each of you made the choice what data to link to that persona.

I started to look at Rydra's collection of links and found it far too overwhelming. What I'd love is a neutral summary, perhaps with a handful of links, preferably just with a few major quotes pulled out. Alas, Wikipedia has no article about this (and that may be just as well, but then again, tracking current events is otherwise one of the things that Wikipedia tends to be good for).
