If people really believed that doxxing was harmless, they'd be posting under their real names and addresses.

Except using an alias online is a large part of internet culture. There are also a lot of people that do use their real names online.

I’m not telling strangers, in-person or online, my address.

And that would make sense when it comes to people like you or others with aliases, but an alias like "wyre" or "pc" aren't exactly hiding themselves, just using a nickname, similarly to how in high school my peers called me Seneca (because my first day I wore my old school's t-shirt). I wasn't hiding who I am by going by that, just not using my real name.

But "throwawayacc2" doesn't get that same meaning.

You are exactly the kind of person that makes me use names like this.

Ideas need no name. Argue the idea, not the human behind it.

Or failing that, perhaps consider relocating to China or Russia. You will find their attitudes to internet anonymity more to your liking.

So you are afraid of people doing to you what you do to others. Incredible levels of hypocrisy and cowardice you've achieved here - congrats!

It's not your pro-anonymity attitude they were criticizing. Try again.

> I’m not telling strangers, in-person or online, my address.

But what if there was a website that told strangers your address associated with your handle?
