The '-r' has to be part of the command you send to the whois server if
you don't want all the personal data (which is why you were blocked).
(see 
https://apps.db.ripe.net/docs/How-to-Query-the-RIPE-Database/Command-Line-Queries/#whois-client)
Maybe try this query instead:
whois -h whois.ripe.net  -- "-r -i mnt-by HOS-GUN -T inet6num"
