It seems to me that the issue is not whether or not the information is public but what is the intent behind showcasing it with accusations. Was it reckless? Most of the stuff was probably true, but a mistake can be made or the wrong person can be offended.

I have no doubt OCRenters intentions, in his mind were noble, but I would hate to see a judge decide on it. People have rights that preclude this type of stuff.

It seems to me keeping the “private” in private detective is a good idea. That doesn’t just mean conceal your identity, but also that of those you might investigate.

OCR, are you from Southeast Asia (Vietnam or Philippines)?

By the way I do understand your decision. I just don’t think that anything has changed because of you buying a house or disclosing its address to anybody. I’m pretty sure that Adam is not going to sue you, nor does he have any merit to. On the other hand, if one of the homebuyers you ridiculed on your blog decided to sue, not knowing the address would not have been a big obstacle.

Rus: I think there are other considerations here as well. Given the relative newness of blogging and the widespread reach of the ‘net, you can create invasion of privacy issues without the intent of doing so.

If the information that OCR relayed was in the public domain, the person in question really didn’t have an expectation of privacy, legally speaking. But the larger issue now is that, prior to this, no one really contemplated how far and wide that information would be spread and what sort of damage it might potentially do.

OCR mentions that his post on Trojan4Life was written in anger and deleted some five minutes later. But in those five minutes it was picked up by others and went God knows where. So after feeling bad about penning it, he took it down, but it was arguably too late as evidenced by it’s reappearance here and now. On top of that, it also appears that we haven’t gotten the whole story, as Trojan asserts the complete post was not shown and thus we don’t have the complete or proper context.

So you have something of a mess, but without the apparent intention of creating one. We lose an excellent resource in BMIT’s closure, OCR’s privacy (and potential family safety) is compromised and the threat of litigation now hovers over him and through no fault of his own.
