'Brother Sharp' had private life exposed online

We have all seen the power of the "cyber manhunt", and how dramatically people's lives can be changed when they are caught in the media spotlight.

It sometimes seems as if everyone here is virtually stalking someone. But while it might be argued that most of the people involved are public figures who have put themselves in this position either through choice or actions, there are also unwilling and blameless victims who are thrust before the public gaze through no fault of their own.

The drama of "Brother Sharp" is such a case, and I want to say making news and satisfying our voyeuristic needs should not violate someone's rights and privacy.
