>>97484955Almost two years ago Rooker called Gunn during a con panel and put his cellphone close to his microphone. Gunn's answering machine gave the number away and everyone in the panel heard it.
Mark Mcgloin who runs Cosmicbooknews and is a Nova autist saw the video and posted it in his website alongside the number that was gave out with the answering machine and encouraged people to call Gunn asking for Nova. Mcgloin then figured the area code of the number (because Gunn lives in in LA) and called him. Supposedly once he found out the number was real he took it down from his website (but left the video and the message encouraging people).
This is the video in question (James Gunn has since changed his phone number)

https://archive.is/e1KvbSome days ago asked Gunn about Nova, Gunn replied, and Mcgloin tweeted at Gunn about making an Annihilation into a movie. Gunn was reminded about that incident and decided to call him out on it, they went back and forth and Gunn made a facebook post about it.
While Mcgloin is most likely not responsible for all the calls Gunn got, he did encourage people to harass him in his website and he didn't really make that much of an effort to take down the phone number (he left the article in his website which encouraged people to call as well as the video) he also clearly shows no responsibility for his part in this.
And while Rooker is responsible for leaking the phone number it was an accident and he's Gunn's friend. Mcgloin isn't Gunn's friend and he purposedly gave the number out and called more attention to it, it's why Gunn is specifically upset with him.
