That's silly. I, as an individual, am a business: I perform work in return for pay, just as a business provides goods and services in return for payment. If the work I do is writing a blog, and the payment comes from ads or subscriptions, I should be permitted not to have my home address broadcast to all and sundry.
(on a related note, I should also be able to deduct expenses like a business does for tax purposes, but that's a different topic)
