yes, a crewcut...what am i not doing in the name of virtual journalism?

[ZacOnTV]

They shouldn't be doing this, it's a privacy breach, I mean, I would not want to give out my mobile number if I had 1, then some dude could hack into their database and get it, then send me all sorts of Spam, nor would I give out my PayPal account info if I had a PayPal account, same situation there, some freak could hack into Integrity and get the info then max out my bank account! Dammit Linden Labs, get a grip and a life while your at it

[Mephilic]

this is basically blackmail if linden lab population suffers it will be there own fault. i just recently had this happen to me. i cannot give them my personal info. its basically like this ''Hey give me your personal info or we will ban you' sure sounds like blackmail to me.
