There you go again.

Sure - maybe you're seeing people complain from those that - and you can't let this go - some how "deserve" it. But I didn't. My wife didn't. The mods of /r/gaming didn't. The kid who just put up a speech didn't. Would you know about any of those if I hadn't said anything? Perhaps, then, your perspective on the situation is flawed.

And you're still harping on abstracts - sure, this shit ought to be against the law. In many cases it is. But it's a sophisticated police department that hears "I just shot my girlfriend and I have a bomb and I'm at this address" that immediately thinks "hmmm... I wonder if someone's butt-hurt on the Internet?" 'cuz there's no reward for caution. Far better to roll a command car and evacuate 500 apartments.

So the real problem IS doxing. The real problem IS people with nothing to lose playing dirty tricks on people with something to lose. The real problem IS that waving your hands and going "it's an Internet problem" does not dismiss the fact that it's a REAL problem and that you aren't speaking from a position of authority when you've chosen a random alphanumeric string to carry out discourse.

I'm done giving you excuses to morally impugn those that have been doxed. I've said three times now that it isn't about that, and three times now, you've come back with "well of course it isn't - but still, they deserved it." You're clearly playing lip service to the notion that maybe this is a problem normal people need to worry about and I'm not going to continue.
