In this particular case I don't think deleting his information had anything to do with protecting his privacy. I agree with Sid's comment that the act of deleting it did nothing for his credibility. It's not that he left it out, it's that he decided to delete it once he was called on the accuracy of it.
I know your feelings on people having the right not to post their personal information and I agree with it right up to the point where they want to trade without divulging anything about themselves.
