I didn't vote, because it depends on the situation, and whether or not J.S. posts accurate info. These factors vary quite a bit. But assuming the info was accurate:
Ballapuran/john/Hansen situation >> appropriate
Nathyn/William Young situation >> marginal
NHA10/Powerchuter/Jacobs situation >> douchey
Plus one douche point for posting info (at least the accurate part) already known by many people, and govt. agents due to unrelated prior issues and associations.
All I want to know is.. Who is the girl that is always NH10's avatar, and why? It smacks of former-girlfriend obsession or something, and is way more interesting than some random location and numbers nobody is going to dial anyway. I mean, can you imagine someone calling Rob in the middle of the night screaming "You put ENJOY at the end of all your posts!! I'll kick your ass, you BASTARD!!" The girl/sister/girlfriend/wife? avatar is a harder mystery to solve, and if John Shaw sleuths out that one accurately, I'll vote that he rocks.
It's Margot Sanger-Katz, a reporter from the Concord Monitor in New Hampshire...
I have never stalked her...she has always contacted me...and she is on the forums...
I've never been "in trouble" for stalking...either...I am being stalked by the gooberment though...
I have been the focus of the bureaucrats, jackboots, and mercenaries for my relentless support of oppressed human beings EVERYWHERE on the planet...including Ed and Elaine Brown...
John Shaw!
