misleading whois information on domain

I own a few domains, and i have a telephone number that is incorrect. The reason for this is that I live in New Zealand and people don't seem to appreciate there is a time difference and will call at all hours (actually most of my domains have my cell #, but this one didn't).

Some other details on the domain are also wrong, but the email has always worked.

Is this so wrong? I have been harrased by this newsgroup news.admin.net-abuse.sightings sending emails to my registrar to try and get my domains revoked, i've had a guy go to a post shop to try and verify owner of my pox box. The didn't bother trying to politely email me first before they did this.

I emailed this guy who went to the post office, and asked what business of his was it, he seems indigant that I invited this by having false whois information. He insists this is the only reason he's doing this I hadn't even done anything to any of these
guys.


Here is some of the correspondence:

http://www.anystop.com/lawson3.txt
http://www.anystop.com/lawson4.txt

so question is, am I so out of line here? is trying to protect my privacy so wrong ( i know it's against ICANN T+C) , or is he in my opinion and his own sarcastic opinion a net-nazi.
