toyminator2000 – There has to be dumb people in order for there to be smart people
I went over and read some of it, I wonder if Matts who should know this if anyone carries out the threats made he could be in a lot of trouble by releasing this guys info, conspiracy to making terrorist threats could land him in a little legal trouble. It doesn't really matter if those threats are even carried out, if the threat is made and considered genuine he is helping to make the threat real.
no because every thing he has... is public information... he just did some research... he didn't release any personal info such as SSAN or Medical history... phone numbers, addresses, places of employment... are all public records... however him posting his picture up there may be a diffrent story... though I think the kid is probably to scared to do anything about it...Don't Get WENZLED!
Oh, one more thing that may settle the "public" issue for you, his address is also posted on his front door too. If you give out that address by going to his house and writing it down then posted it for illegal gain of any kind would you be guilty of being an accomplice? I think you would.
Well I did look at the thread and Matts did post the guys address for those that wanted to do harm to the guy, plus he would be the one that should have put a stop to the thread before it got to that point of threatening harm to that family. Regardless of what the guy did to anyone on the board by screwing them out of $ or lying about what he was selling it would be a civil matter that would/should be handled in small claims court, not through terrorist threats. He may not be able to do anything to the guy he sold and screwed the junk to and then modified the price if that person didn't threaten him but he very well could hold PBB responsible if anything does happen. Why do you think the are very strict about that kind of thing here? Marlin could very well put his business at risk if that type of thing was allowed to happen here.
well they would have to prove that it came from someone on Pirate... by this I mean he can't go after Pirate everytime someon eggs his house because his personal info is ON pirate... because if that were true... I could go after Google because they list my address with my name when you put in my phone number... makeing it availble to the public!... I see what your saying and I agree that it should have been taken to small claims but coming from the military point of view, where you really lay into someone for breaking a rule.. not just to punish them or get your point across to them... but to make it aware to all the others that what ever he/she did was not alowed... basicly your setting a precidence by coming down HARD... do I believe that's what they had in mind when they did this? Of course not...I'm just stating that the thread serves a purpose... again... just my $.02
True if they just egged his house and took off there would be no way to know who did it, but they were making physical threats and if someone carries out one and is busted by the cops then they come to the understanding that his address was posted by a moderator or admin of PBB instead of that person deleting and banning those that threatened him. I would think he would be an accessory to the crime. No he didn't at anytime threaten him but he provided the name and address for the sole purpose to intimidate and threaten him and his family.Now as to Google, altavista, and the others providing peoples names, address and phone #'s, they were not involved in threatening anyone. That is a service just like the phone book.
