You think it's too early for another Tron sequel to occur, and suggest it should have happened at an earlier time instead?

Where is the line between having a spirited discussion on how an administrator can lack common sense...and providing their contact details (regardless of how public they may be) to a public forum?

The contact details exist for the express purpose of allowing people to contact them, and you're saying we shouldn't post them because folks might contact them? They can always take them down if they don't want people emailing them.

You're also assuming this is a real personal email account and not a general "bulk mail" contact address that's really handed by someone else.

To give a counterexample, I was driving down a long hill that I have driven daily for 20+ years. At the bottom of the hill, right before it went around a curve, I saw cars hitting their brakes, and knew there was probably a traffic jam around the corner, so I started slowing down.

There was a truck driver pretty far behind me, and he didn't bother slowing down until he came around the curve, saw the traffic jam, locked his brakes, and ran off the road, and blamed me for the accident.

I don't know why it would be necessary for you to defend yourself in this to begin with. It's his responsibility to maintain a safe following distance. If he can't come to an emergency stop behind you without running off the road, it's his fault for either following too closely or driving too fast. It doesn't sound like he hit you, so I wonder how you got ensnared in this at all. I would have driven away (I'm not involved in the accident so I don't have an obligation to stay there and have someone try to blame their mistakes on me).
