Disgraceful

The despicable Maureen O'Gara of G2 Computing, Client Server News, and (formerly?) Sys-Con, published a hit piece over the weekend targeting Pamela Jones of Groklaw. Complete with photographs of what O'Gara claims is Jones' home, she also printed the address, phone number, and even a description of Jones' car, making frequent sneering references to Jones' religious affiliation. Got to make sure the SCO loonies can find the right place, don't ya know.

That makes me wonder, how would O'Gara feel if someone were to make use of widely available internet search systems and publish information like, oh, say this:

O'Gara, Maureen
11 Danis Ave
GLEN COVE, NY 11542

516-759-1571

Maps & Directions | Did you go to school with Maureen O'Gara?

Coincidentally, that address is a scant 2.2 miles from G2's headquarters in Sea Cliff.

But it would be wrong to publish information like that.

Update: Apparently their are places even Sys-Con won't go. Maureen O'Gara has been dropped from Sys-Con publications.

If this holds up, I might resubscribe to some of their print magazines.
