I can't believe HN mods think it's ok to leave this comment up. I don't know of a way to report it myself unfortunately.

Excuse me, why is linking to something bad? Especially when it contains your own data?

Doxxing involves targeting an individual, as mentioned in the first line of that wiki page.

I'm not publishing or leaking any data either. I'm linking to something that was already made public which contains my own data.

Linking to personal information may be considered publishing in some areas.

Also it's just a really crappy thing to do IMO.
