I'd agree if people were as good as they should be. Since they don't; since they harass, stalk, call employers, cause people RL problems, I'm not going to ask of them what I certainly wouldn't ask of myself.
As ithiliana illustrated, embarrassing is the very least of problems. Being a civil servant myself, embarrassment is far less a problem than coworkers, bosses, or say, interviewing for a promotion.
I understand this but aren't OTW member out there in a substantial way. They were on NPR. I'm not trying to sound harsh but I think it's a little funny that OTW. who are there to provide what I'm assuming is legal support to fans, are worried about their names being on the books. Eventually won't they be out there if OTW receives more attention from the press or actually have to step in with lawyers to help out a fan. OTW seems like a charity/corporation and not some run of the mill, fan-made archive. Therefore, I don't think it's right for them to accept money without being transparent about who they are. They have a board for goodness sake. I don't think it's professional with all their stated goals to act this way.
I don't. As a member of OTW and a coder on the archive, and a person who did give money and will give more, I do not give a flying flip who they are if the possibility their actual lives and incomes could be affected by this. My curiosity is not and will never be more important than their lives. To even set those in comparison is anathema.
Your mileage varies. And I'd like to end this conversation now.
