Two comments: "FSE was a preprint: a paper that hadn’t necessarily gone through peer-review, editing, and publication in a journal. Academics share preprints because 1) the process of getting a paper journal-ready can take years, so this gets it out faster, and 2) academics can share their research with people who aren’t able to afford the ludicrous journal fees." To my knowledge, all ACM conferences including the "ACM Joint European Software Engineering Conference and Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering" are peer-reviewed. In CS, in my experience, peer-review for conferences is more thorough than journal review. Conferences are more important. The idea that they are preprints is something from linguistics or some other field. "How did FSE take the rebuttal rebuttal? Not well. "So that’s technically not a dox, because he didn’t publish Berger’s private information, but still. That’s a really asshole thing to do!" I'm not sure I would call linking to someone's Facebook page from Twitter to be "doxxing" in any sense. Calling a fellow researcher a "donkey" is a bit of an asshole thing, too. (I have no link to said comment, but I know Emery Berger. He's very positive he's right, the smartest in the room, and very abrasive.) Tl;dr: Software engineering research is a garbage fire. But we knew that.
