If people would have listened to me back in the day when I said that having an email address passed around when people hold a position was a bad idea, then nobody would be in this position.
People's inherent need to want to be remembered for doing something that nobody else has done, has made people come up with stupid ideas that people think are great without actually looking at the potential downsides or capability of people that want to destroy things to do so.
If this had been better managed or actual proper consideration taken, then this empty "threat" wouldn't have even meant anything. I feel like this is just as much the fault of the leadership as it is this person mucking around.
Also - pretty sure most of you would be joking around the same with eachother, be careful. People you think are your friends online will throw you under the bus first chance they get 7/10 times.
I reckon give him another chance. +1
