Privacy concerns from [split] AF Hall of Shame (Post Edition)

[pineapplebunnybounce]

I haven't said as much as I wanted to say on this subject because I tend to avoid drama in general. But it seems all this started because Jacob calls himself a christian but barely acts like the type of christian we're used to seeing, which leads to suspicion. And earlier in this thread itself, rayaan himself admitted to using jacob's email to find his name and track him and that "that was only the beginning" and also that he stalks people when he's bored. From the PMs Rayaan does seem to be speaking as if a decision has been made and that his behaviour was totally fine and routine in the maintenance of this forum. And then now people are shocked that Jacob has left and is "blowing things out of proportion"? Really? It's rather fucking ironic that this only happened because he identified as a theist and then got discriminated by another theist, on an atheist forum. For all of you who seem to not have gotten out much, there are plenty of people who have lost their faith but prefer to identify as christians and muslims while practising only the parts that they like to practice. It's not that uncommon, it's called cognitive dissonance and we all do it, we just don't happen to do it in our religious views. And that comment that "you didn't fool me" I don't even know what the hell. Fool you what? Your money? Your time? There's always a chance that the person you're interacting with on the internet isn't who they say they are, that's pretty fucking obvious it doesn't mean you get to use information to track them down to satisfy your curiosity. It's one thing to use information he has willingly revealed to the public, it's quite another to use his email and IP address and god knows what else. Regardless if the information could've been found either way.
