Interesting! I looked at the website, and although I don't think it was right for her to use your comments without your permission, it's probably perfectly legal for her do that---as long as she doesn't identify you by name. Now, if she'd used your name without your permission, that would've been another story. Surely most of you realize that there are tons of people who read the message board but never register or participate in the "chatting." You will have to get Heather to verify this, but I thought she told me there are about 7,000 people a day that read, but never respond to the Eating for IBS message boards.
And you thought it was a small intimate talk you were having? It's a big world out there! The "creepy" incidents that have occurred recently on this board are, unfortunately, a reminder that there are a lot of nuts out there. Now, don't you feel better? Can you picture that peeking Tom looking over your shoulder?
Beaglelover is right - she didn't use names and unless you put a disclaimer at the end of your post, there's not much you can do on a public post. If she were to copy and paste text from this site (not the messageboard), then it would be plagerism since I assume there's a copyright listed somewhere (no time to go check).
