Is the high road being infiltrated?

Watch what you say or write!

About sum it up. Remember that private companies and government agencies can access what you post and may use it to make hiring, firing decisions as well as to prosecute suspected criminals. I think remembering that anything you say can be used against you by private and public agencies is a smart thing to remember.

I'm out of the closet. What I'm doing is good, not bad. Full disclosure: my first encounter with a Federal Law Enforcement Officer (I didn't know whether to use asterisks, or periods, or spaces, so I just left them out, OK?) was when my Dad first picked me up in his arms on the day I was born.

As Archie wrote, it's a public forum. The Online Etymology Dictionary has this to say:

forum
"place of assembly in ancient Rome," from L. forum "marketplace" apparently akin to foris, foras "out of doors, outside." Sense of "assembly, place for public discussion"...

The Forum in ancient Rome was where one went in order to speak out and be heard by more or less everybody else. One effect of speaking in a forum, old or new, is that if you say foolish things you can expect that people will notice.

A bunch of Federal, State and local officers, agents, troopers, investigators, and other folks read and post on this forum because they are part of this community.
