    To be fair anyone can already call me with my phone number. Although it’s pretty anoying too.

      I remember years ago a high school friend of mine freaked out because her phone number and current address showed up in one of those free people search sites. I asked her “Are you listed in the phone book?” and she said “oh… yeah… I am”.

      This is a bit different. This is the equivalent of letting me call you right now because I know your username. I literally don’t need to know anything else about you, except for your activity on the site. That said I’m somewhat impressed. Impressed by how anyone would come up with something this stupid.
