I publicly go to lunch with friends too -- so if you follow me to lunch and then ask some of the people I went to lunch with about how I'd be at this new job --you're saying this is acceptable or simply a natural consequence of going out in public with people?

The name of my child is public record too. So it's OK for you to go by his school and ask his teacher how I am as a parent?

There's a lot of public information that exists. Those who have the inability to recognize that there exists a line between simply unethical and illegal are people I'd prefer not to associate with -- much less work for.
