I think that is a perfectly reasonable and allowed question to ask them, given that the thread is about doxxing.
Btw, do you personally oppose doxxing and/or information that someone has posted publicly, jacquesm?
Because you, jacquesm, have not made your stance clear on that topic.
We've had to ask you this more than once:

I don't want to ban you, but if this keeps up, we'll end up having to. If you'd please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and stick to the rules when posting here, we'd appreciate it.
The other person claimed that doxxing wasn't illegal, and therefore implied that it was OK.
Which is why I asked them if they are OK with being doxxed themselves.
If they disagree, and say that they do not support doxxing, then yes I completely agree.
But they would have to take back their previous statement to make that claim.
All they got to do is say that they oppose doxxing.
