    I would report this to the ISP and take it to the Infomation Commissioner Office. Their website may be of help.

    If its some kind of mental health issue thats making him publish personal data then they obviously should not be allowed access to creating a website or should have someone check the content before its allowed to be uploaded.
    I really would contact them first though to see why they are publishing this infomation. There may be a good reason but I doubt it.

    I think you are all blowing this out of proportion. Nothing like drawing someones attention to something to make it an issue. Ignore and move on.

    I think you should email him. He has put absolutely tons of his personal information on that site and it possibly has never occured to him that other people are not happy to have their info put online like that.

    Sarahg1969 - If you were being sarcastic in your post, then my mistake and good on you. If you were being serious then I think you are beyond help

    He's just a bloke, though. He's running not a company that processes data, as far as I can see. And, in any event, is a name sufficient information to identify a person? I'm not at all certain the Information Commissioner would be even slightly interested.

    Junkmayle - of course I wasn't being serious!! :rotfl:

    Wow he has a list of everything that's in his bedroom. :eek:
  • Thanks for all your comments. I'm not blowing this out of proportion. There are things going on in my life at the moment that I don't want to be googled by certain people.
    Whether we win or lose,
    that we played at all was a winning decision. :D

    Wow, that is a damned impressive list.

    OP can you not simply e-mail the guy and ask him to remove your details?

    Even stranger, the domain registrant seems to be some guy in Hong Kong: http://whois.domaintools.com/jonathanen.com

    There's not much you'll be able to do IMO, just one of those things. I don't think anything sinister can be gained from the details listed, just make sure to change your passwords often, etc.
