And to answer the original questions:
What are your views on individuals who constantly search for pictures (on webshots and other websites that host photos) on the internet that could possibly depict hazing of some sort?
- I think it sounds pretty unstable. It's one thing if it's something you're involved in yourself - a group or place you frequent etc. But to go trolling around the internet looking for things that have nothing to do with you...well, that's really shady and pretty darn creepy.
It sounds a little bit too much like online predators for my liking.
Do you think a group should be accused of hazing based on a photograph, when the context is not known and the accuser was not present at the time?
- No, I don't. I can look through my photo albums and see pictures that make one thing look like another. I would never think to public out someone b/c of a photo that had nothing to do with me, ESPECIALLY if I had never talked to the people involved in the story to get their version of things. It could be completely misconstrued and you could be ruining people's lives over misunderstanding what you see. For someone to do that makes me think they secretly want attention for themselves and care nothing about the actual issue of hazing.
Do you think people that patrol such websites looking for pictures should enjoy anonymity on discussion boards (such as GC), even though they willingly interview with newspapers and let their names show in print?
- NO WAY. That is absolutely, positively ridiculous. If your name appears in print you already gave up the right to be anonymous. You can't have your cake and eat it too - you either play Mr/Ms Crusader for Justice Even When It's Not My Business and deal with what comes with that, or you stop doing what gets your name in the public domain in the first place.
Do you think that people who frequently and publicly do this accusing are a germain topic of discussion among greeks?
- Yes, I do.
