Hey fellow donors of time when they're not using their machines (a gibaaflop's a terrible thing to waste) - until I got Goggled and my Bio Page, I thought available only to SETIites, became the info for a rather poor flame war (I attacked a writer on my alma mater's paper for taking bad numbers for the likelihood of a female student-academic-staffer facing some form of sexual discrimination - from maladicta to the old Glass Ceiling through inapropriate advances ... to out and out rape - Sexual Assault victims, my heart goes out to you. The only thing I can do for you (unless it's call the cops if i see/hear something wrong) is No Matter How Dirty You Feel, go to the cops, file the papers and have a hospital do a rape kit - it's your ONLY chance in court, and you are protecting others too. Hard words, but the only way to stop a real menace that's out there in low numbers, everywhere) massaged by a woman w/a website whose daughter was allegedly raped 3-4 years ago by a student at Indiana U.(I say 'alleged' cuz' there was no criminal trial, or a single word from victim, only Mom) that included added numbers for "women who (several years later when surveyed) said they were not raped, just reported consensual sex in college.) The author divided by the alleged n for the survey, multiplied by the number of female students on campus (excluding about 45% of faculty and staff) and wrote: "That's the number of rapes that occurred at (my school) this year." Enough to terrify the entire campus. The worst thing a Google came up with was "well, you should go back to spending your time looking for little green men). Now, as a SETI@Home participant, I am a Limited Public Figure in the SETI community (which means I really cannot sue anyone who replies to me calling me a monster HERE for what I say, even if it is libelous, unless outrageously so. And thrusting myself into the public, writing a message on a blog does the same for me there, too. BUT it does not for the general world. I would LIKE to see these pages, and all blogs and news groups for that matter, taken off the public net and placed where ONLY those in the right 'Community' getting a chance to see them. Speech would become freer if we knew Facebook is a general open forum, but SETI is not, though I am, when I can explain to the idiots in the house, a proud donor of my limited computer services (started on an early '386, skipped the Pentia 'till I pressed a P2 and separate laptop into service, followed by this 3GHz P4 I use @4 hrs a day, at most and SETI uses the rest.

I agree with you. I don't like my posts appearing on any search engine either. Pluto will always be a planet to me. ![]() Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

I agree with you. I don't like my posts appearing on any search engine either. This site is still the #1 search result for "Blame Misfit", although I liked the previous result better. Too bad the youaremighty website shut down. But that result was created from this site. A lot more people read these forums than what is realized. me@rescam.org |

THAT, is a fact - and, as a 'Matter of Fact' - i still speak with a very large number of those people [many who have 'left' the Project - for 'varied' reasons] and they're still there - behind the scenes and reading - silently . . . ![]() Science Status Page . . . |

I disagree with the OP. Why should anything you say here be non-existent elsewhere? Why should all these pages be viewable by SETIzens only, and not the rest of the world? If you're concerned, or have something to hide, then don't post at all. Its too bad you didn't like their retort, but perhaps you shouldn't take it as a put down simply because it was offered as one. Doing so only indicates a shame for what you do here. If that is not true, then any deflective argument such as "go back to searching for little green men" can be properly dealt with by anyone who is well rounded to debates. |

If you're concerned, or have something to hide, then don't post at all. Yup....this is a public forum, and is accessible to anybody with a computer that wishes to look.....even if they are not registered Seti crunchers.... So, you can't hide here.....

SETIzens? I hope we are not obligated to go by that label... It is actually mandated by the evil Orcish Overlord whose name is not pronounceable by humans, and even if you could say it, you would be slaughtered in the most vile means possible, reassembled by Goblin Engineers and slaughtered again. |
