- tomodachi94 4y agoIn certain circles, there's always a risk of swatting[1]. If you're anonymous online and your physical address is leaked, that could lead to doxxing[2] that could eventually lead to the aforementioned swatting. N.b. Swatting is mostly a US thing.

- nomel 4y agoI don't like it when strangers on the internet know where I live, based on an extremely public string. For an example of the discomfort, and so we're in a similar mental framing, could you please respond to this with your email address and home address? ;P
