Sorry Lynn, I knew the photos weren't borrowed. I meant the term "borrowed" as sarcasm. It was an intentional act that he knew would get to you. No one goes out of their way to find and take other cavers photos to post on the site they manage for the Society and then also take those same photos and place on their child's personal site by accident. Not even the OVP can persuade the public it was an internet "burp" as has been claimed in the past. If it was an accident the photos would have been removed from the child's site when asked the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth time, without having to seek the aid of Mark Passerby, who immediately took the situation in hand. This is more of the same pattern of stalking and harassment that has gone on for well over a year. Remember, this is the same person who took it upon themself to tell the Tennessee Cave Survey what information he wanted them to place on the TCS website. Guess I'm spilling some of the beans here....but heck, why shouldn't people hear about it? However, the NSS isn't to blame for the actions of one or maybe two individuals. The NSS can only be responsible for not taking action when alerted about the situation by a member. Copyright issues aside, simple logic says no one should have to be told to let folks post their photos where they want to.

Sharon, It is unfortunate that there are people in the world that have little better to do (or some sort of mental defects etc) that cause them to stalk and harrass others - especially those in positions of trust. Usually they are the type of people that outwardly appear kind and innocent, often quite intelligent and able to explain away every transgression, yet they secretly conduct this campain to harrass people they have issues with. When this happens their peers and co-workers support them wholeheartedly thinking that their friend is the one being abused by those that fight back to his or her harrassment. The fact is this type person is genius at manipulating others to do and believe things he or she wants. What is taught in the corporate world today about harrassment is that it matters not what the intent of an accused harrasser is - what matters is the way their actions are received by the victim of the harrasser. Using that logic you are a victim of harrassment - you are suffering because of it - and no amount of explaining can take the pain of this away. Regardless of the intent of the person you refer to - the harrassment is real and causing you pain. Something should be done to prevent further damage. You Sharon are not directly responsible for fixing the problem. Most of us can probably figure out who is responsible without too much mental strain. Edit: As moderator of this section I broke my own rules by straying way off topic. Profuse apologies to all for this. Perhaps if any of us want to talk about other things than photos and photography we should use a different section of the forum. And now back to things regarding photos and photography.....
