What I'm after is, who do you (forumers here) think is in the right in this case.
The forumer, who's info was leaked, said the site administration, ie. the owners/employees of the site have responsibility. Plus in his opinion they should have fired the forum admin (volunteer worker for the forums) in question - he was let to continue under supervision though.
The violated forumer didn't want to give out any email address, this one especially was work-related, revealing his working place and says he now has to change his work-email and print new business cards etc.
He hadn't exchanged any other contact information with this banned forumer, while he was still able to post in forums, they only talked in the forums. They hadn't agreed on contacting, but the banned forumer wanted to talk to him, and managed to get the email from sources, that in violated forumer's opinion, should be private.
Do you think the violated forumer is taking this too seriously? Or do you think he is entitled to some kind of compensation from site owners?
