I agree with every single thing Shawn said, even if it isn't popular. Really, this was handled in a very, very bad and even ignorant manner. This guy did nothing wrong except for register an expired domain name. Suddenly everyone and their mother is calling him a pirate, presenting things to the lists and others with no real factual information. To make matters worse, you gave out the persons email, requesting people to mail him and dotster saying how awful you thought it was. Think about that. They gave out this guys personal email (and in some cases his ISP's info), gave an ignorant supposition of how awful he was, then told all the people to email him telling him so. It is practically the equivalent of mail bombing and slander. Really, Dan Knight, MacSlash, and whoever emailed this poor guy owe him a personal and private apology.
