The Gabfag justification for it was that "Jonny doxed a family member and then made threats of violence."

These people saw esotericdoge threatening me and not a word was said to him about it; every single one of these people laughed. I laughed too, because it was funny and impotent rage. But that doesn't change the scope of anything. If making threats is one of the criteria for a denial of service, then a lot of people are guilty.
