Sssh! Chapman's had me under investigation for several years, but it's a secret (you know, one of those secrets which he wants everyone to know)! I'm going to get a knock on the door any minute, I just know it. It doesn't matter that I've committed no crimes, I've dared to oppose Chapman, and that's quite bad enough.

Getting back to the real world, I didn't post the OP, but I agree with you that simply posting that information is neither criminal nor harassment, especially since (AFAICT) all that information is already available somewhere online (Google will confirm this). It's just a rather pathetic effort on behalf of one or more of the "cycling lot" to give someone (probably me) a bad name.

(By "cycling lot" I mean the anti-motorist bunch on URC, not cyclists in general, most of whom are actually reasonable and decent human beings, despite being given a bad reputation by the belligerent, law-breaking minority of cyclists.)
