We'd prefer not to have to deal with this things at all. Our jobs aren't really to verify or fact check things posted on reddit one way or the other, but I looked at the original post for a long time and decided to leave it. If it had been a home address we might have made a different choice. Not an easy decision one way or another.

But you make a good point about exactly what the policy says. We'll update redditquette with some more precise guidelines than what was in my angry 4am rant.
