I respectfully disagree with the stance you are taking. I did not post their names in an attempt to provide "ammunition in an argument or to rile up a public posse against them", I did it because they refused to sign their names and I saved people the step of having to dig into it themselves. I simply copy-pasted their (public) information, this is not "personal details" these are numbers and emails associated with their organization. Should all of the other comments that link to the same page (with the information I copy-pasted) be removed as well? I'm genuinely confused by this. Is tim@apple.com also considered "personal details" in a thread about an unpopular move by Apple? I'm trying to figure out where the line is here.

This is a little bit like saying that it doesn't count that you piled fuel on a fire because it was just deadwood that you collected from down the road. There's a difference between information sitting on a website and copying it into a thread that's primed with indignation. The only reason to do the latter is to incite people. Maybe there's even a good reason, but it's overshadowed by the damage that mob dynamics do to the community. This is an area where it's prudent to err on the side of caution.
