Eglin, you're arguments are completely contradictory of one another, they make absolutely no sense to me... Thats why I fail to ascertain what youre talking about.

As I stated in my post, your reasoning, as I understood it, was a horrible idea. If I took it the wrong way, then my apologies, but I dont think releasing private information is an acceptable solution.
Yes, my post was very harsh and I realize that, but you cant stand upon a pedastel and claim that you have exercised restraint in some of your almost mocking posts. After reading a few of those this morning, I wondered, why bother with restraint so I said it like I saw it.

As far as who's mature and who's not, when a name/email address/user info is submitted to eqemu for validation purposes, I consider that information to be private, and would only release it if there was some sort of wrongdoing, in this case there is not, only the threat thereof. The difference is that users of EQEMU have entrusted that information with us, not to the world, and unless there is some pressing reason, I would not put that information up for grabs. Be thankful that we dont, valid email lists are very popular trade items amoung spammers. Its for everyones protection.. Be glad that these are our ethics, otherwise if one of the dev's was angry with you, he could release your IP information, email information , etc, out of spite and try to convince others to DOS you, email bomb, send virii , etc.

How did I contort the situation?? YOU'RE THE ONE THAT CONTORTED IT! My god, I just suggested banning him from the community, you're the one that stated 'dont ban him', release his private information. Its not my duty to protect the world from wrongdoers, but I do have a duty to try and protect the users here. If you had stated , 'ban him, then post his info' it might have made some sense! I still would have disagreed , but then your logic would have been sound.

It sounds to me that regardless of the solutions, you are going to argue.

I have absolutely no ill will towards you or anyone else regarding this, this was a debate as far as I am concerned. I still stand by my judgement however, I dont feel that releasing someones information is an option unless said person performs attacks of some kind, which has not happened yet.
