The lack of respect for the sandbox and the guy who owns it is absolutely amazing.
Randy (not the moderators) created the Talkteam forum. Randy encouraged mods to discuss moderation issues. Somebody leaks information from the forum, and several posters who clearly lack respect for the community post private information. Randy closes the forum because he cannot offer the mods a forum to welcome their comments in a manner in which he intended (eg, private), and the very people who helped further this shame on the collective house by posting private information are gloating.
I renew my call for permanent bans for any and all posters involved in the act of posting private forum information in a public setting.
If nothing else, I continue to be amazed at Randy's patience. If somebody whizzed in my sandbox the way that many around here do on a regular basis, I would not be nearly as tolerent (much less the second time around, for some).
