rasengan, this is coherent, credible and serious enough to deserve a response from you, and this is an excellent place for it. I don't wish to draw conclusions

rasengan, this is coherent, credible and serious enough to deserve a response from you, and this is an excellent place for it. I don't wish to draw conclusions from this without hearing your side. I hope you have time for that.

  This comment feels doxxy.

    Only if you reach as far as you possibly can to stretch that word. Putting "=Username" at the end to see if the user has an account on the very site we're discussing this on is pretty far from documenting identifying information, no?

      Additionally, he's personally posted a statement about it here through that account[0] a day ago. It's definitely not doxxing if he already revealed his identity himself. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27234542 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27234542

    checking if someone has got an account on HN is doxxing now?

    doxxing, by definition, is revealing previously private information. On his hacker news profile he’s listed his email that links that account to him. It’s all public.

  I don’t like seeing direct links to profiles in threads like this; I always worry that the comment section will turn into a stalking mob.

    Every freakin' username is a direct link to the user's profile.
    - thih9 5y ago
      I know. At the time when I wrote the GP comment, the person whose profile has been linked didn’t join the discussion yet; so e.g. I was’t aware that this profile existed.

I bet he goes radio silent on this one. This is one of the worst sins that can be committed against an IRC channel by an admin, and no amount of BS is going to convince anyone he didn't cross the line by a million miles. Not sure how anyone is giving this guy the benefit of the doubt at this point.
