   @Maholmire @colonelj @maia This guy, specifically, did nothing; he's guilty of nothing but association. Anyone taking the time to comb through his posts would know this, but that doesn't appear to matter to whoever did it.
   
   I watched sunbeam.city drag my good friend through the mud: they decided that he must be some kind of fascist, because he is my friend and colleague going back maybe 15 years, because they decided that I am a fascist, because I do not ban people for their opinions. I objected in the thread, pointed out that the inquisition was stupid and that he was a committed lefty, and when the sunbeam.city fallout happened, they claimed that I'd threatened murder. I'm on the list, so I'm fair game, no one will ever try to verify it, they can lie as much as they want. If you question any of the lies, you're "literally defending a fascist"; even pointing out that I'm not a fascist is "literally defending a fascist". Fascists hate me, but it's not like that matters to these people. If there is a way to opt out of this, no one presented me with the option.
   
   So thatfightnerd is now on some list, all the evil people that they managed to dox. People looking at that list will take it as read that he's a fascist, same way they did with me, same way they did with my friend. Who's got the moral high ground? Is it just based on the choice of $ingroup/$outgroup?
   
   "Based. Where's the link to the dox list?", "there’s bound to be collateral", "I never said *everyone* from poa.st had it coming", my sincere¹ apologies if it sounds "autistic" to take this sort of thing personally. It's exploited on a regular basis to slander decent people, and for what good, precisely? Does it get the indecent people to stop? Seems to me like it's only gotten worse these past five or ten years. Seems to me like the tendency is to go after easy targets anyway. People didn't tend to get swatted ten years ago, people's employers didn't tend to get harassed ten years ago. (What else would be the point of including his LinkedIn profile?)
   
   All the participants can punch their tickets and hop on the train to hell for all I care.
