Calling out bad actors is now doxing? That's an impressive broadening of the definition. Are you just trying to tar behavior you don't like for some reason, or do you seriously think calling out bad actors is somehow equivalent to, eg, gamergate assholes posting Felicia Day's home address? Andrew Roman's address or ssn has not been posted; the only thing going on is the linking of his name with his actions.
- pbiggar 12y agoIt seems I had the definition of doxing slightly wrong - I've updated the comment. [tangent: You've made a lot of invalid assumptions about my motives. I find it's often better to try to get on the same page as someone else before attacking them.]
- x0x0 12y agoPerhaps if you would like not to be misinterpreted -- if that indeed is what it is -- you should use words that mean what you intend. Grumping that I don't understand when you used the wrong word is ... special.
- neurobro 12y ago> the only thing going on is the linking of his name with his actions. And linking his name with unverified claims about somebody's actions. Ever tried not to think of a pink elephant when someone told you not to? Try it. Don't think of a pink elephant. It works about as well as "don't let this damning claim tarnish X's reputation in your mind, because it might be wrong."
