I will probably get slated for saying this but looking at the guys website he seems to me to be exhibiting the signs of someone with Aspergers, he has what appears to be a compulsive need to categorise and list everything in his life, he may not have any malicious intent or be aware that listing your name on his website in the manner that he has as being unusual....

Since when has keeping full, detailed records of transactions been linked to Aspergers syndrome?

Maybe I'm an undiagnosed sufferer too?

(Admittedly, I wouldn't be inclined to publish such records)

Well i think he's a fruit loop!

Why?

It just appears to be some type of blog to me; a web log or web based diary.

Well, I know nothing about Asperger's, but a Me page like that is not normal, and I don't think it's normal to want to put that kind of detail on it.

Aspergers is a high functioning form of Autism, he probably cannot help himself it is a compulsion he has no control over.

I'd be more concerned that this individual is keep a record of my details somewhere, and what he may be doing with them.

As a legitimate online business, I am legally obliged to have my contact details displayed on various websites, but sadly there are some deranged obsessives out there who use this information for nefarious reasons. It's a risk I have to take, but no matter what you do, there will always be some head-the-ball who decides to take things a step too far.

Claiming autism/aspergers/metal health issues may well be a reason, but it is no excuse. Some of these people are quite simply dangers to the greater good of society.

Trust me, I've had a run-in with one such character recently, but fortunately he was simply irratating for a while, but not quite clever enough to be truly deranged!

In the case of the OP, I'd be inclined to research a little more into online privacy laws and data-protection, then take things further with a cease and desist notice for example.

Even if the guy is suffering from autism of any sort then claiming 'these people are a danger to society' is ill advised and very ill informed. I think you need to take a look at how YOU view the world stevew8975.

OP - email the guy, ask him to take your info down as you are not happy with it being there. If that doesn't work then I don't know what else to suggest.
