Sorry, I don't get it.

If this sh*t storm is about 'that' picture, then reproducing it is only a crime against copyright (possibly), not against the person pictured. The picture was in a public place. Had the subject (and there's no proof that it was Stickbuilder in the picture) wanted that picture to remain private it should have been protected from public view. "Members only', password, there's a heap of ways.
This from http://www.nitrd.gov/fnc/Internet_res.html :

"The Federal Networking Council (FNC) agrees that the following language reflects our definition of the term "Internet".
"Internet" refers to the global information system that --

(i) is logically linked together by a globally unique address space based on the Internet Protocol (IP) or its subsequent extensions/follow-ons;

(ii) is able to support communications using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite or its subsequent extensions/follow-ons, and/or other IP-compatible protocols; and

(iii) provides, uses or makes accessible, either publicly or privately, high level services layered on the communications and related infrastructure described herein."

"either publicly or privately" The choice is there for the user. The choice by the user in this case was that the picture be publicly available. Snootfull's only sin was, maybe, that he should have posted the link to the picture rather than the picture itself, assuming it is copyright.
If you stand by your ruling in this case, does that also apply to any and all publicly available information? If so then all web pages, advertisements, books, magazines, the phone book, posters, films, music, etc etc must all be off limits in case any reference to any of them might contain publicly available personal information.

I have a silly web site. I don't care who sees it. If I did care I would password protect it.

How about a fresh ruling reminder about threats of violence being made and foul language being used here? If I had young kids I surely wouldn't want them to read the foulness that has poured from Stickbuilder for instance.

I understand that this site is your property consequently you are entitled to do what you like with it of course. 99% of the time you're dead right. In this instance I think you've over-reacted a tad.
