This is how you end up doxed, hacked, SWATed and with fake blogs created in your name advocating legalisation of pedophilia and whatnot.

It's better to just not. If you spend any amount of time running IRC networks you will soon discover that there are plenty of people who see this as a game, you're probably not up to play.

You have no idea who I am, but keep telling yourself that you do.

I’ll give you a hint: I have been on IRC for 29 years.

Nobody cares about who you are. You are nothing but an extremely sad irrelevant person that considers being on irc for 29 years some sort of an achievement.

Can you please respect the site guidelines so we don't have to keep banning you?

Please don't respond to a provocation by posting in the flamewar style. It's not what this site is for, and destroys what it is for.

I'm sure your long experience with IRC would be quite interesting to HN readers but for that you need to share information, not get into spats.
