Somebody has clearly abused the data privacy laws to gain knowledge of the crew involved. Then published that knowledge on a public forum. Whether actual names are used, or whether you name by a process of elimination, it matters not.
How would you feel if the author wrote: "western, male Capt with green hair from Antarctica"?
Or do you think the abuse is OK as long as it is general, and who decides where the line is drawn?
Not feeding the trolls, just sick of the ugliness of the secret glee some people get from seeing others (Chines, gays, women, whatever...) fail.
