Update...

Drudgereport.com does not have story anymore. In a sense, DrudgeReport is more damaging than some lunatics in Seattle...

Link to story at www.thestranger.com points to DrudgeReport... Freeper Narses points this out

TheStranger.com might have been hacked (and I would not be surprised if that was a Homeland "Training" exercise).

There should be a way to capture people who view the story, and who they are (on the Internet). That technology should exist...

TheStranger.com has pulled this story from their front page...

I just wonder who came knocking at the Editor's door...

Because of the number of hits on the Drudgereport.com, the fact Matt put this on his page gave it greater visibility than a LUNATIC newspaper. That is why it is damaging.

But Matt is trying to make a good point... It is just that people will actually see the photos and addresses because of that visibility.

The REALLY GOOD NEWS is that the original article points to the DrudgeReport and Matt has updated his page to delete this reference. The frontpage of THE STRANGER (lunatic newspaper) no longer carries the story.

Hmmmm...

Just a short while ago I saw that disgusting story online at "The Stranger".

I wonder if my posting editor Dan Savage's photo, name and address online had anything to do with it being pulled?

He wanted to play, so we can play back.
He does not know who I am. I live overseas and always use a 3rd country proxy online. I can post from China if I want. I have tons of information on this guy besides just his address, email, phone, photo, etc. So do others as I did not want to publish his cellphone number but have already given it to another FReeper via FReepmail.

He was emailed a link to this article - more than one. I wonder if he liked what he read? I wonder how he liked seeing the picture of his home online posted by folks with a legitimate gripe. I wonder how cute Dan, Terry and DJ think this whole thing was now.

Since he has pulled that disgusting article, I will not publish any more of this creep's info.

This is just a foretaste of what the left will do - they feel very bold right now as they believe that they are on the cusp of some victorious change.

Wannabe jackbooted thugs.

Idiots.

Be careful what you wish for Dan.

Thanks. Hadn't thought of that. Good thing I didn't jump the gun emailwise.

There is. Every computer on the Internet has a number called an "IP Address". These numbers aren't exactly unique, but if you know the IP address you can trace it back to the ISP that provides the Internet access, and if you also know the date and time the ISP can trace it back to a particular subscriber. This assumes they weren't accessing the site from some free Internet access (like a coffee shop) or using some commonly available technologies that obscure the IP address of the person accessing the site.

That said, what good would it do you? I checked out The Stranger earlier today, as I'm sure many here have. Do you want the government knocking on the doors of everyone who looked at some random web site? Even if it were effective, that's not a power I would want the government to have without a warrant.
