This is anything but generic ideological flamewar here, dang. I'm clearly slamming both "tribes" for their tribalism here. More importantly, I'm someone deeply involved with the kinds of people that would have been able to perform this kind of hack and would do so for political reasons. I am directly calling their behavior awful. I'm explicitly condemning the doxxing of ordinary people for their political activity and frankly am shocked that you would even suggest that to be against the rules or even controversial.

Ok, fair enough. On closer reading, I think I pattern-matched your comment the wrong way! (That said, it's still rhetorically in the flamewar style and that's the wrong style for HN. We want curious conversation here.)

  > (That said, it's still rhetorically in the flamewar style and that's the wrong style for HN. We want curious conversation here.) Fair. It can be an unfortunate component of my writing style. Too many decades in front of computers and all.
