  Hello,

  I was surprised to see that a blogger posted my IP, my name and my address on his blog.

  Would you please advise; I don’t think that the blog owner has the right to make public his/her guests private information.
  Thank you.

  It’s unclear. Exposing an IP address may be illegal in some circumstances, but that would be a matter for law enforcement. Addresses are not commonly illegal to reveal. Remember, everybody used to be in the phone book.

  Thanks, I remember a lot of thinks including the fact that any hacker and spammer can use my data to harm me or my computer; this doesn’t raise a flag for WordPress personnel?

  Are you encouraging hackers and spammers to do their “jobs”?

  With respect I tell you that I don’t think that your tolerance is a good practice…

  Thanks.

  When we submit information for a specific purpose like commenting on a blog post we are not submitting it for any other purpose . I have flagged this thread for Staff intervention.

  I’m so glad you’re not overpersonalizing this and shooting the messenger. With respect.
