Small Announcement - Important

Some of you may have noticed that OL's Muslim member has changed his display name to "Libertarian Muslim."

The reason for this is that he is having some issues with being stalked.

Really.

So he asked me to make the change.

I believe Libertarian Muslim, just as any OL member, needs to be kept out of harm's way, so I agreed to the change.

I do not know the nature of the stalker, what this stalker could do, or where this despicable individual is coming from--the Muslim side or the Objectivist-libertarian side. LM will make information available to me as soon as he knows, Frankly, though, to me, it does not make a difference. I consider such a person as trash.

I would like to request that anyone interacting with LM on the forum please use "Libertarian Muslim" or "LM" or something like that when addressing him or talking about him, not his real name.

Until the dust settles, I will make the name replacement in people's posts if they forget.

We may agree or disagree with LM, but he has come here in peace and made a hell of a contribution in giving us a window into the way Muslims like him see things. He deserves our attention with something like the present problem. And, I consider him a friend (one who I haven't met yet).

I count on your understanding and sorry for the inconvenience. I hope this will be resolved before too long.

Thanks.

Agreed.

I will make the changes. LM's contributions have been informative, intellectual and interesting to me.

Even if the stalking is a bluff, it has to be treated as a real threat in reality.

Uh,...okay. Sure.

Not to be too technically challenged here, but isn't his name already out? Anyone Googling even now could probably find it archived. Or, if the stalker has been watching LM's posts, all he needed to do was copy them if he needed that information. Just asking.

I guess I'll go look up exactly what "stalking" means in this setting. I've heard the stoies about teens stalking on Facebook, apparently in order to later meet the proposed victim in "real life." As I said, I guess I am "technically challenged."
