Just finished dinner, and while web surfing with Dr Phil on in the background (I know, I have no life) I overheard an interesting segment regarding a web site that allows women to post damaging information about their exes.
Excerpt from Dr Phil's web site....
Revenge of the Exes
Have you ever wanted revenge on an ex-lover? How far would you go to get it? Dr. Phil's guests' revenge tactics range from telling all about their ex online to exposing a former lover in front of millions of people.
Women Tell All to Get Revenge
Tasha created a Web site for scorned women to post complaints about their ex-boyfriends. Todd is suing Tasha and two women who posted on her Web site saying they have no right to post damaging accusations about him. They meet face to face for the first time on stage!
"I don't know whether or not the statements made on my Web site are true or false. That’s not my job."
Hi-Tech Revenge
Earlier this year, Fonda wreaked revenge on an ex-boyfriend using Tasha's Web site. Her posting says that he was married, liked pornography and was interested in having a three-way with her and another man....

 If you've been hurt in a relationship, would you ever post personal information about the person on a web site like the one profiled in the segment?
(Hope I have this under the appropriate heading...lol).

Not for me, I try to say nice things about the ex or at least civil things.

I'm with ya, Sponge. In fact, I've never had a break up so horrible that I'd be mad enough to post something personal and derogatory about an ex.

I have but I still wouldn't post the details. What's done is done and can't be undone.

I know, I know Sunbabe...lol. This will (hopefully) be the only "Springer"-type thread I'll subject everyone to in here.
Every once in awhile we all need to be kinda trashy

Women... It's phenomenal what they come up with...
Has it ever occured to anyone that sites where GUYS post such things about exes don't exist? What does that tell you?
If I were those guys mentioned, I'd sue every last one of the "poor scorned" women.

Personally, I think it's pretty low and shows a great deal of the character of those women. Bet they have trouble finding future partners!

IMO, and I have had conversations with friends about something similar to this .. (i.e., where they want to talk down their ex to their children and friends to make themselves justified in what they went thru or did)... what honest to Gawd good comes out of doing something like this?
Is making your side of the story public gonna make it all better and the hurt of the relationship go away? Will you feel vindicated for belittling another in a public manner? Doesn't that just bring you down to whatever level you are ranting about?
Is this public airing of dirty laundry gonna hold you close at night? Are you gonna get the warm fuzzies and tinglies like you would if instead you decided that you are gonna make your life better and show the ex exactly what he tossed aside like yesterday's toast? Wouldn't it be so much more fulfilling to know that you alone pulled yourself up outta the muck of the relationship that broke up, dusted yourself off, and beat the odds and made yourself happy and successful without sinking to a level of the ass you left?
The sweetest revenge is your happiness and success!!!

I got pissed off in a chat room (one of those big chatrooms) one time and spouted off a bunch of stuff (phone number, address, etc) about a girl one time (she was in there shit talkin also)...........no one cared. hahaha
I felt bad about it afterwards, but we were able to laugh it off.

Well I will admit to fantasizing about revenge, but in reality I would not want someone to do that to me and would not want to cause grief for an ex. I may vent on line but would never name names and would respect my exes privacy.

When most people leave a relationship they both have lots of real, and in some cases imagined, ammo to use against an ex. If one side breaches that trust then all gloves usually come off. The problem is that in the heat of anger, post-breakup, you never know where the truth begins and ends when listening to the participants.

I saw the rest of Dr Phil's program and he wasn't too kind to Ms Tasha (who runs the web site, http://www.dontdatehimgirl.com). He basically said it's just a forum for non-stop b*tching and character assassination. I'm sure a lot of the guys that get run down there deserve it, but there's no way to verify the allegations or truthfulness of the "accusers". I think the whole site is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I just went to the site...
Rich claims he is a Secret Service agent and even has Fake ID. He is married, 2 kids. He travels alot and cheats non stop.
You have to be a total rocket scientist to believe something like this to begin with.

To me the question was more..would you sue the person who owns the website or the person who said the bad things about you?
As was pointed out on the show, alot of times when these scorned women write their poisonous comments they are at the height of emotion. They get on that site and spout all their anger and hurt. I bet alot of what is said is untrue and exaggerated. The worst part of her site is that these women go on anonymously then post these men's pictures, names, addresses, everything! That just does not seem right to me at all. It is one thing to spout off to your girlfriends, but as this gentleman pointed out, nowadays employers are googling the names of prospective employees. Reading some of these vituperative comments could cause a loss of employment!
The audience was not on the side of the website owner either.
