I'd add myself to that page (my home address and home and mobile numbers are findable), but I don't have time for the abuse cases of this sort I already get asked to investigate. How annoying!
That said: we need hardarses, but our hardarses need to remember to block with *love*.
Why can't we just use Checkuser (if this is coming from a registered user) to discover the ISP or employer of a harassing/abusive user (wherever they're accessing WP from) and inform them of this sort of abuse. Or, perhaps, get their identity so the harassed editor has legal (or, dare I say, extra-legal) recourse.
