While everyone else was having a Privacy Scandal

Image by ShanaLC via Flickr I saw the weirdest thing recently.  While we are all having conniptions about privacy, the last person I would ever think threw a wrench in the entire argument about having privacy.  Maybe. A fairly obscure blogger (who I like to read), named Hasidic Rebel, decided to unmask himself as Sholom [...]
