Mike – you linked to the posting – and pointed everyone in the right direction in case they wanted to get the details. (simply discussed, Ha!) Wasn’t that one of the points of your article? Here let me quote you…”Someone, apparently, isn’t quite aware of the way the web works.” When you use your website and RSS feed to link to another web page, Mike Masnick, internet users are likely to follow that link to the information on that page. When saying you did not “release, post, or share the details”, are you being dishonest, do you actually not know how the internet works, or are you just trying to minimize any responsibility for your actions?

And Mike, why would you say “If you cannot understand the difference…”. Isn’t it obvious that I can tell the difference. As I said in my earlier post, the people at Carleton likely made a dumb mistake. I distinguished that from your actions which were made with full understanding of the ramifications – you just didn’t care. Perhaps like some of the other people who posted comments, your take is that once information is out, the actual number of people who see the information is not relevant. I suspect the security detail for the Emperor has a different take.

I know, waiting a day or two to report on this HOT story would have required a bit of forethought, or empathy, or just a basic understanding of how the internet works. As you were ridiculing Carlton for their lack of forethought and basic understanding of how the internet works, I am thinking you have those two areas covered.
