[b][i]Warning[/i][/b]: {[i]sarcasm ahead[/i]} [b]I confess[/b] that yesterday a [u]FriendsterTalk[/u] member managed to get a hold of my [color=#FF9900]email address and Yahoo! Messenger ID[/color]. However, I have never given my [color=#FF9900]email address or Yahoo! Messenger ID[/color] to this person and have already spoken to those who [i]do[/i] have my [color=#FF9900]email address and Yahoo! Messenger ID[/color] and they all have assured me that that they did not give my information to this [u]FriendsterTalk[/u] member in question. [img]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/kobjin2hamsters/YAHOO%20EMOTiCONS/waitjustaminute.gif[/img] Also, if you will look at my [i]public[/i] profile here in [u]FriendsterTalk[/u] [url=http://theftalk.com/profile.php?section=essentials&id=129721]My Public Profile[/url], you will notice that neither my [color=#FF9900]Yahoo! Messenger ID nor my email address[/color] is visible.[i][/i] [img]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/kobjin2hamsters/YAHOO%20EMOTiCONS/cantbelieveit.gif[/img] Also, my [color=#FF9900]email address and Yahoo! Messenger ID[/color] is not visible on my Friendster profile either. [img]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/kobjin2hamsters/YAHOO%20EMOTiCONS/thinking.gif[/img] Which can only lead me to the conclusion that a [u]FriendsterTalk[/u] member with [i]privileges[/i], shall we say, must have used his/her [i]privileges[/i] to access the [i]private[/i] portion of my [u]FriendsterTalk[/u] account for the sole purpose of obtaining my information that I had chosen to keep private. [img]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/kobjin2hamsters/YAHOO%20EMOTiCONS/shameonu.gif[/img] [img]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/kobjin2hamsters/YAHOO%20EMOTiCONS/dontwannaseeit.gif[/img] If that is true, that this member used (or [i]abused[/i]) his/her privileges to access the [i]private[/i] portion of my [u]FriendsterTalk[/u] account for the sole purpose of obtaining my [color=#FF9900]email address and Yahoo! Messenger ID[/color], then I find that to be very disrespectful, shameful, immature and appalling because there [i]are[/i] other ways to obtain this information. Like, for example .... [img]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/kobjin2hamsters/YAHOO%20EMOTiCONS/thinking.gif[/img] ....Oh, I don't know...maybe asking me for this information yourself? [img]http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj216/kobjin2hamsters/YAHOO%20EMOTiCONS/whistling.gif[/img] If I'm wrong about my assumptions then I will admit them after being given some kind of proof that I am wrong. This opinion is just based on how I believe the [i]public[/i] [u]FriendsterTalk[/u] proile works. I was under the assumption that if something is not on your [i]public[/i] [u]FriendsterTalk[/u] profile then it cannot be seen by other members, except for those members with [i]privileges[/i]. If I wrong about this, please, somebody correct me. I don't believe this is a [i]rant[/i]. I believe this is my confession of an [i]opinion fueled by disgust[/i]. That being said, however, if any Moderators find this to be a [i]rant[/i] then by all means, feel free to delete this post because I will not edit it any further than I have already. You may also curse me or ban me if you deem it to be necessary. I will not complain or object or fight it because after learning of this, I am a bit disgusted by the actions of this [u]FriendsterTalk[/u] member in question and makes me think negatively about being a part of the FriendsterTalk community anyway.
