Just so people remember, the reason we don't distribute more information about other people than they'd explicitly like is because we can't tell what information might or might not be sensitive about other people. For example, some members of the board might talk about where they live roughly, then what they do for a living. It's only the point where you know their first name that someone with an axe to grind decides to start ringing up their employers. This has - I believe - happened on the board in the past. Also, it's generally accepted that putting e-mails in public, unless they're from an institution who are giving a kind of formal response, is generally pretty bad form, because it's understood as private one-to-one communication.
In Barbelith terms, slipping up and putting up information by accident is not considered a terrible sin, but not being prepared to change your post to get rid of that information is. Doing it with intent, is another matter. In this case, obviously, it was just a bit of an error and so no harm done. More generally I'd just like to remind people to keep other people's information up to those other people to open up. |
