No, yours is the mischaracterized take.
The context in which the GP was speaking was running a forum. I've responded to it.
You've responded by going on tangents about personal blowback for personal activities and, strangely enough, protests.
That's not the threat vector that people trying to self-host forums tend to face - and even when it is, it's not that different from regular, run-of-the-mill mill stalking/and/or/harassment/chan-board-brigading/sub-brigading that anyone running any forum, self-hosted or not has to deal with.
