Publishing what is known as "public records" has been going on for a long time. Many of the old local newspapers, or at least the main county one, had pages and pages of this unreadable stuff "in the back" before the public announcements (which they felt it was a form of) and advertisements. Today only the real estate section of those records remains, for a variety of reasons. Being able to print the truth is a good indication of a free country...but just like one can't yell fire in a theatre, nor prank a hospital nurse, one must be equally responsible in managing any consequences of those public postings, whether in a newspaper or today in an online blog. Say like here. So if what you say consequently imperils me, well, don't expect me to just laugh it off.
