One of the oddest things to come out of the battle of the blogs of late was a series of posts on twitter regarding the visit to In Cold Blog by the owner of a small chat site over at Paltalk.com.
For those not familar with ICB. It is a blog supposedly set up to showcase the works of guest true crime authors and for the blog owner and select authors to advertise and hopefully sell their books.
The editor of this blog, owned by Cory Mitchell, a prominent true crime blog, has been of late, posting some rather disconcerting twitters regarding her visit, apparently disapproving of her visit. The editor of In Cold Blog even went so far as to publish for all to see, the IP address of the person in question.
To understand the significance of that inconchinable act, I suggest you read the article in the following link:

I doubt that my suggestion in this small blog, that people be wary of visiting ICB due to the act of the editor publishing what is considered to be private information.
I do remind persons on BOTH sides of the blog wars of the normal disclaimer that is given to visitors of websites and blogs when it comes to ip address and log in information:
This is an example of a privacy assurance by a prominent chat service:

To the best of my knowledge, In Cold Blog HAS NO PRIVACY ASSURANCE STATEMENT.
BE ADVISED ACCORDINGLY
