Dynamike, and now others, has been using MagicSanta's real name in posts, although MagicSanta has never divulged his name here.

Do all of us who post here on the understanding that we can use the cloak of a username and thus speak as ourselves rather than our stage personality now have to worry that anyone can google who we are and publicise our name when ever they like?

It seems to me a gross violation of the trust we have placed in the Café.

This is unacceptable.
Dynamike deserves the harshest of sanctions for his betrayal of the common trust all Café users share.

All posts containing information MagicSanta had no intention of sharing with the public should be immediately deleted.

Although the Café's many users bring all kinds of folks into the fold, this instance with Dynamike has gone over the line.

Things like this happen all the time online. If the affected party is bothered with it, he can simply click on "Report This Post."

In the Café? How has the Café violated your trust? The Café has not given any members contact information, real names, etc to ANYONE.

Sounds to me you have a situation with another member.

As Café member Dave V has pointed out, if MagicSanta or any other member has a problem with ANY post made on this board they need only report said post using the REPORT THIS POST link which appears on all posts made on this website. Once this happens it flags the post so my volunteer staff and I have a chance to look at the situation and determine the best course of action (if any) should be taken.
