[QUOTE="mamalicious, post: 3225952, member: 114544"] So, someone with the name GSHAMBROOKE is convicted of paedophilia - not you I should point out, but someone sharing the same name. As a response your neighbours start getting suspicious of you, and muttering about things. Your children are told by other kids that they're the children of a paedophile. Your boss starts giving you strange looks, and seems to be looking for a reason to fire you. Things go downhill. It doesn't matter that you've never done anything, that you're not the GSHAMBROOKE whose name has been published, that you're innocent. Your life is now damaged - possibly destroyed - because of someone else's actions. Now, how much clearer can I make this, I am not advocating against naming and shaming in order to protect paedophiles. I am advocating against it in order to avoid the above situation. Again - I have in no way been arguing against this, I'm just trying to get through that naming and shaming is not the way to deal with this. There are other ways. [/QUOTE]
