Call me retarted, ignorant, or whatever, but,
I think the issue that has those of us here in an uproar in that upraor is that Phreak was the one that posted this info.
Where he got that info, to me anyway, is pretty much irrelevant.
Preak, the "head" mod, posted personal info on the board that he is "head" mod over. No, I don't see this as Bob's fault, but i do see Bob as somewhat responsible (no matter what the FAQ says) because he is the one that put Phreak in the "head" mod position, and continues to leave him there.
As a member here, I pretty much know and expect the mods and owner to have more info about me than the regular users. It is the way it works, and I accept that. What I have a hard time accepting is when one of those mods starts posting that info for all to see. Mods are supposed to be the more upstanding and trustworthy of the site. They should have character and maturity. They should be the ones that give more time and attention to the site, and then prove themselves trustworthy of the added responsibility of not only modding the site, but also of the behind the scenes info.
Pulling the stunts that Phreak did (both to Phantom and LF) blew that all to hell. Whether the info actually came from the site or not, him posting it on the site in the manner he did showed us that he is really is a pompus jackass, not just a mod putting up the jackass front.
To alot of us, faith in the mod team has gone down significantly. But I doubt Phreak cares.
