If she lets people know that a politician is moving in down the street and neighbors start protesting outside that front door, how is she responsible? The point is that other people are responsible for their own actions, and NG is responsible for her own. She's no more responsible for harrassment by someone else than I am for your actions.

As long as she's just notifying neighbors of what's she found, she's well within her rights.

As far as talking to neighbors vs. distributing flyers, one is a form of private speech and the other is a form of public speech. One is a conversation, and the other one is harrassment.

I suggest that everyone go back and read the original post before commenting any further. This thread has warped waaaay of the original post, even more so than usual. I'm as responsible for that as anyone else, but there are lots of erronious assumptions made.
