This is a monumentally shitty thing to do, and you know there is no justification for it but the hope of driving speech out of the public square. All he did was have a Twitter account people could judge by reading the opinions expressed therein. You've outed yourself as garbage.

I don't see the problem here. When Romney got caught using an anonymous Twitter account, no one considered him a victim of doxing.

Mitt Romney is a US Senator & former major party presidential nominee. The privacy/newsworthiness balance is different.

Does that dude really not know the difference between being anonymous, and being a public user with a side sock puppet account? Or was he just trying to dunk?

Dunking? Because I suggested all doxing isn't the same? No one seems to be able to articulate what's wrong with what Tracey did except to call it doxing. Wanna give it a shot?

People have anon accounts for a reason. Unless they abuse that privilege or are independently highly newsworthy individuals, that should be respected.

Yes, there are good reasons. None of which seem to apply here. Where's the harm?
