He targets them with his camera phone.Sibley's blog, Subway Douchery, exposes subway riders who violate the understood rules of public transportation, by plastering their pictures on the Web. The blog's popularity has exploded in the past three months. But not everyone is a fan.While some applaud Sibley's nod to common courtesy, others say he's violating his targets' privacy.
