As I said before, I don't disagree with the message, and it's up to him how he chooses to deliver it, but I think he might've avoided a hacking (perhaps more than one, depending on how this all turns out) if he had confined the message to his blog (assuming he has one; I don't even know) or his personal website or anywhere outside of the program itself.
But I mean, there was a time when my other blog was reaching a lot of people but because it was narrow in its topic/scope I did not use it as a platform to announce my candid feelings about/abhorrence of any or every (other) injustice in the world (besides AOL itself) that raged on at the time. When I felt compelled to do so, though, I would air those same views on my personal blog and felt little to no risk in doing so for my other blog.
This is kind of dev 101 to my mind, that the personal and strictly business simply don't mix, especially online where no-lifes just sit around looking for their own "cause" to go completely ballistic over.
tl;dr: Again, I don't care how he chooses to deliver the message, and I don't disagree with the message he has delivered, I simply think there were ways to do it that might've left his website safer from hacking and therefore left him better off.
