What about posting sar's full name?
What about people who are disabled or in a coma and unable to object?
What about people who are not reading the board at that time and would not know to object?

But how would you know whether it was false or not? And would it be okay to post if it was true? What if it's true but the person has not given permission to have it announced on PB?

I don't think people should be allowed to post information of any sort about other posters which has not appeared on the board all ready. There is no way to verify anyone's identity or the truth of these posts. I think it is a violation of the anonymity and privacy that helps make the board possible.PS Are my questions annoying you? That's not my intention.
