First of all, I totally feel like @whatsup and as a user I now think we all have the right to assume/feel the same security threat about our own activity here.

Feeling it now, doesn't mean it didn't exist earlier. As said, the illusion is gone, innocence lost.

Here's just hoping hostility was expected on Justin's side and it didn't trigger additional bad blood.

You'd think he/they would realize, but it also appears tat they didn't quite know what they were buying either. Either way , it is a risk in various capacities . Is it better to be safe than sorry? Time will tell.
