As an AP, and particularly a card counting AP, who fights the anonymity battle every day with the casino industry, privacy and anonymity are a top concern. And to that extent, I don't believe doxing should be allowed under any circumstances.
On the other hand, this particular case, this guy is a real sleaze bag, often preying on AP's and other gamblers. However, I don't believe that should allow for an exception. We can bring this person to light and protect one another both privately and on public forums without, posting things like addresses. That crosses the line for me, under any circumstances. And as mentioned in a similar thread at WoV, the legality of posting such information is questionable.
It is a very slippery slope. Do you make an exception for this or that? and who makes that call regarding exceptions? The next thing you know, someone is being doxed for welching a bet and yes I know this case, while involving that activity is much, much deeper than that.
I also question the page being linked. I see nothing identifying any source on that page. It is made to look like a news story, but there is nothing identifying any organization, nor even an author byline. Without these qualifications, you have a web page that someone with a vendetta made up. :rolleyes:
Now, I can appreciate that others in the community are more aware of incidents and activity involving this person and have mentioned some here regarding Bob Dancer. That doesn't rise to the level to make doxing acceptable in my opinion.
