I registered this name because I didn't get a chance to say my piece directly, and I should so that I'm not purposefully misconstrued by @kleinbl00. First of all: really Klein, I left because you're being a dick. I get it, you have a bunch of grievances, but I simply do not know where you get off writing to me like I'm responsible for them. My advice is, you should really stop taking out whatever frustrations you have on random people on the internet. Now, after several rounds of explaining that I'm not pro-doxing, you're still on this train like I'm the guy who started crank calling your wife. The only reason I can figure out why is because I'm pointing out that "doxing" as it is talked about on Reddit is bullshit. I don't know if you've taken a look around, but a god awful lot of people who make a stink about "doxing" are people who should not only be doxed but should expect federal warrants for facilitating harassment and stalking. Not for minor pranks, mind you, but organizing the transmission of rape and death threats by people who are morally depraved enough to actually do such a thing. So maybe, just maybe, things are a bit more complicated than this wonderfully nebulous word "doxing." Maybe, in fact, we should stop trying to use cutesypoo neologisms for crimes which have been on the books for a while now (but which have been laxly enforced). About "identity": as I've told you directly and explicitly, I picked a random character string because registering here came right after my unencrypted insurance information was stolen. Gee, does this give a little perspective? Finally, no I don't put a lot of investment in my online identity. Nor do I stake much in my membership to this site, or the internet in whole or in any part. I do put a great deal of investment in not staying in places where people feel entitled to being dicks --the way you have been both in this thread and elsewhere. TL;DR: Left Reddit because of so many dicks; left Hubski because of one very particularly prickish dick; lesson learned, no forum is worth any amount of dickery.
