 :::::: I don't begrudge Vk exercising his right to delete comments at will. But the whole point of my questions were to try and convince myself that he might have a point about being set-up. Spitting his dummy when the questions began to show there is more to this than his story that he would have us believe doesn't help him one iota. 

 :::::: Someone else pointed out how easy it would be to find Frank's address via google. As you say, it wasn't difficult. However, that is somewhat beside the point. Maybe I am just not nosy, but I have never bothered trying to find out anything personal about any editor here on Wikipedia. Why would one care? After all, its the content, not the contributer that matters, right? It worries me that the individuals involved here are not content with issuing threats and insults to each other on-wiki, but that they feel the need to go and investigate the personal details off wiki, irrespective about how easy or difficult it is. I simply can't conceive that this would serve any legitimate purpose, and it certainly holds the potential to be very sinister.  

 :::::: I certainly don't advertise anything personal about me publically. However, privately I don't hide my identity either (I use an identifying email address). Therefore half a dozen of the people in this case could have my telephone number, home address and picture of me by now. I participate here under the impression that our editors should maintain a standard of politeness, civility and security. When I hear that at least one person is actively sourcing the personal details of other editors and passing them around, it genuinely worries me, especially since no-one has offered an explanation for the purpose of this. Add that to occasional allusions to serious threats and it worries me even more. Does this strike you as a standard of politeness, civility and security that we should tolerate on Wikipedia?  
 :::::: Finally, no, I have not seen evidence of threats to blow up apartments. e "
