Side note, are you down voting my comments because you feel like they don't add any value to the conversation or because you disagree with my viewpoint?
I find what is described as typical socialization observed by someone who knows nothing of these people as something to be concerned about to be fairly absurd.
If it was typical socialization within that community, then I find it unlikely he would have only found a single instance.

I mean here we are and someone somewhere happened upon a mailing list they didn't want to be on... looked folks up on facebook. Wrote a couple sentances on a blog and we're at "see something say something" and "The author spent a non-trivial amount of time researching the social media profiles and interactions in this group".
That all seems like a huge stretch that could create a situation where all sorts of normal behavior is scrutinized / fingers pointed, etc.
