He is not kicked out because of he wants to see a development plan. There are no problem with asking questions, neither. He was kicked out because he hunted down my personal information in a public forum which could lead to a violation of my right to privacy.
You can do as much research as you want but at least keep the basic decency and respect other's people right to privacy.
You have put yourself in an unfortunate position of wanting to maintain your privacy while controlling a large amount of other people's money. It is 100% reasonable in the cryptocoin world to ask if anyone knows anyone else in person. Otherwise you could just easily walk off with the $. To deny these things is being very naive at best.
Not in a public forum under my eyes.
