It kind of sounds like he was trying to indicate that it was dangerous to leave personal info on the web. If it is the case he went about it in a very poor fashion.

I think it sounded totally like a threat.

Really horrible.

I agree. I just thought it sounded like one of those "Threats in order to educate" type of things. In any case it is creepy and wrong.

Definitely sounded threatening...he should know better, regardless of what did or didn't prompt that post. Glad he's fired.
