Hi fbit (notice how I refer to you by your user name, not your email address or other personal details),

If you login to your account at Trisquel and click 'My Account', and edit your contact, you get the following message:

"Personal contact form
Allow other users to contact you by e-mail via your personal contact form. Note that while your e-mail address is not made public to other members of the community, privileged users such as site administrators are able to contact you even if you choose not to enable this feature."

So that when we post here, we are one user speaking to another user. Sort of like on Reddit or Slashdot. The Trisquel site goes out of their way to say that the contact info is kept private. And yet, it is posted in public. This is acting in bad faith. It is one thing when an admin can see your personal information, it is another thing when they post it publically without consent. For me, it is not too Earth shattering that my personal email is published. I am open about the fact I support Libre software, but I do not like it when admins post my info willy-nilly when they stated, as a condition, they would not do so. I did not consent to this and belived what the site posted about personal info. I am quite displeased with this behaviour.
