I think it's morally fucked to add peoples passwords to your site for views.
But it's not against GFY rules to post links to the site that has a link to a chached paged of peoples personal info...
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
I voted no... but Im really on the wall with this one... How long has this been floting on the net before it was brought to everyones attention? I mean, really, if they found that info cached who else has, and who else could have been using that info for bad things.. makes you really stop and rethink who your doing business with and HOW your doing that business. I think a lot of people are going to get fucked on this one beofre this is all over. I think that this should have been handled different, (Emailing the people on the list would have been a lot better way) Not to mention that that gesture would have gone a long ways to better ones image rather that to destroy it. The information post Here, on the blog not and in that google log is dangerous and now, even easier for the wrong people to take advantage of it. People need to really stop and think a little before trying to create the lated "drama" thread here. Drama? Yes this is. but fuck, how many people just got fucked, and how many more are going to get fucked due to the way this has been handled. Unreal.
Oh and the reason for the "no" vote? Was it really a breaking of the rule when the information posted was actually freely availiable on the net to anyone that knew how to search for it anyways? Maybe. I'm not the person who can really make a judgement call on that issue.

Reason: added
is it a case of posting a link to a post on his own blog which contains an obvious link to the personal data of many people in the industry?
do I understand what he did correctly?

Yes... That is correct.
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
just as it would not be acceptable here for one to post a link to a blog post listing links to other forums
a link to a link is still a link
other than the blatant breach of rules here, it really does seem pretty unscrupulous to jump on this with rapid glee and posting it on a blog, he is not doing any of the people involved any favors... really thoughtful nice guy he must be

should people posting here links to stolen content sites be banned? anyway it wasnt the most clever, but we are all only humans ... and im sure he did that in good meaning
Does it really matter if he gets banned from GFY? Really? Is this just some kind of crusade and banning him make the world right or is he just getting kicked off a forum he could sign back up for with a different name?
