Now the Pastor in which I speak is very vocal concerning issues about the church world in general...etc. and people rely on his wisdom concerning a lot of issues. I highly doubt this action was not thought about. When does open rebuke come to play-- just curious as to what you think.

This is typical of some of these pastors being the "facebook" police. There is a reason why this pastor is vocal and well listened to. It is because he is opinionated and says things that at times can be offensive.
I don't necessarily ascribe to this idea that just because a guy pastors a couple hundred folks out in the sticks gives him any authority over anyone. We should respect all people and should respect elders but this man was probably asking for it.
