discovered neighbors were original signers
When Tom Lang was accused of having a website that promoted intimidation he responded with a very clear and concise answer. The same information is made available by the government to the public. Tom posts it here so people can find it more easily. The list provides a service to those who believe their name was incorrectly put on the petition. It also gives gay people who are interested an opportunity to see who opposes them, which is a fundamental right in court, to face your accuser.
I would not have gotten so mad or have been so active if it had not been for the Morans at 415 Lafayette St. I live right down the street and was beside myself when I found out two of the origional signers of the petition were my own neighbors.
I have not harrassed them as you suggest, but it has called me to act by being politically active, and I find no problem with that. In fact I don't have any evidence that anyone anywhere has had any experience of being harrassed simply because their name was posted here. If anyone would have had trouble here it would be me. I posted my name, address, and telephone number to prove the point that there is nothing to fear when this arguement was being tossed around at the begining of the blog.
