Thanks, GregNH.

A blogger who retaliated against a New York newspaper that came under fire for identifying people with gun licenses in its circulation area explained on Thursday why he published the names and home addresses of the papers employees.
Well, I just thought they were being hypocrites, said Christopher Fountain on CNNs Early Start. In the aftermath of Newtown, it was obviously one tragedy, but somehow they were conflating legal gun owners with some crazed tormented devil up in Newtown and putting the two together. And I was offended by that and I wondered how they would like it if their addresses were published.

“... she could have just published the number of gun permits, which is actually quite small, if she wanted to show an issue that there are 2,000 legally registered guns in her county, fine, he said.
But the fact that they put the addresses Ive received e-mails from abused women who were under protective order and in hiding and theyre terribly afraid that now their names and addresses are all over the Internet and accessible through that map.
The media has been exposing, harassing personal details of people for a long time, Fountain said. I dont believe Im escalating, I believe Im punching back.
