Quote from: . on October 29, 2024, 10:48:15 PMDefine what "doxxing" means to you.
Because by my understanding it is any information that can conceivably invoke the unsolicited involvement of a third party in someone else's life. Information which is revealed intentionally that has the potential to mess with their real life affairs in some way, physical and/or financial.
Usually it's the reveal of a persons name, though it doesn't have to be. It might be the reveal of an SSN, or a place of employement. It could be a Facebook page or an email. Once made public, that information is no longer private; the target of the reveal as been "doxxed".
Having defined the term, I know where the border lies. There is not a single instance in a quarter of a century where I can recall having revealed information that could damage a reasonably expectation of privacy, not even of the people who were freely tossing their name about the forums.
Not even then. You can ask around, but I think you already knew that.
Quote from: Dove on October 29, 2024, 03:55:59 PMI didn't dox him at all and I didn't do that to settle any score really. It was more gossip and I didn't care if it got plastered out there by Murd.
And it wasn't because he doxxed me or because of things he said on a forum.
It was because he called my job and attempted to get me fired. He caused me a 2 week suspension. He nearly costs me groceries and utility money and I had three kids.
I had to tap into my emergency savings because of him. He is lucky all i did was show his house to Murdock.
I ended up leaving that job anyway because I didn't want to keep dealing with him calling where I work. His ex wife told me once he starts harassing someone like that, he never quits.
It was more a real life drama than a cyber one.
Mostly I shared it because...people asked and I didn't care about his privacy.
Also i never ask for anyone's info and I don't like when it's shared with me either without the person's consent. If someone wants me to know who they are, they can share that with me themselves.
And several people have. I've had real life level conversations with several posters and it's well known anything soneone tells me privately stays with me.
I just don't do that to people.
Unless they attack me personally by trying to get me fired from a job because they ate butt hurt that I do not wish to have a relationship with them.

Quote from: hard Я on October 27, 2024, 11:46:33 AMNor have I... not even when I could have done so against those that (a) bought into the lie that I doxxed people and (b) bought into the lie that I deserved to be doxxed because of it. Like many of us here I am in receipt of a variety of information, be it freely shared or leaked to me. It doesn't make any sense to me that I would rush out to prove myself unreliable when it comes to keeping mum on privileged information simply because someone else has.
Of course, I cannot control what the rest of you do with what you know (or think you know) but I can hold myself to certain standards which precludes actions as I see as weak in others. There is a reason why in 20 years there isn't a single shred of evidence to support the claim that I publicly provided personally identifiable information about individuals; I've long decided that doxxing is weaksauce, that it's effectiveness is limited at best and that it's the hallmark of someone who is out of options. It is a Hard No for me, irrespective of the excuse.
And you are all free to decide for yourselves if I am genuine in my declaration or simply spouting a bunch of hot air, it doesn't matter from where I sit. What you think of me is secondary to what I know about myself. I am not now, nor have I even been tempted to diminish myself in my eyes simply because others around me act irresponsibly or do stupid things.
Well, that's you doing you. Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily think you are a Bad Person for returning KM's act, you wouldn't be the first doxxer I've associated with. you likely won't be the last. I just now know to exercise circumspection in what I might privately divulge to you; your reputation for finding a use case for such tactics precedes you, as it does for far too many others in this community. That's just the way it is.
Just so you know, KM doxxed me and the places I worked too... back in 2011. Six years on from that, his details were leaked to me and I did not "settle the score" then either. It established him as being untrustworthy with privileged information, a mantle I would have necessarily have worn had I felt compelled to respond in kind.

Quote from: . on October 27, 2024, 09:33:26 PMIf you're not concerned about privacy being violated then it's not an issue. KM clearly wasn't or he wouldn't have agreed with Caskur ahead of their match that the contents of his own Facebook account were fair game for use in their match. On the other hand the forum owner THE BRA1N (who was concerned with privacy) banned Caskur for repeatedly and unapologetically posting Martini's and Mr Pickles personally identifiable information at Third Rail, both during the match and after it had ended.
Who was right and who was wrong? Did KM's and Caskur's agreement that the release of certain information take precedent over THE BRA1N's wish that his site not be the vehicle for such activities? I imagine that is a discussion that some might harbor definite ideas over, though it might also reasonably be assumed that it was essentially a matter for the aforementioned combatants and the site owner to settle between themselves. The same logic might also be applied to Bastard Factory's site regarding the use of PI.
The rest of us? Well, until it comes to our own PI getting splashed about, we are effectively third parties in the discussion, left to decide for ourselves how we wish to proceed. Maybe we (like Martini) do not much care if our PI gets out, maybe we (like THE BRA1N) do not wish to be part and parcel of the trafficking of it. Wherever you stand on the matter, it ought define your own actions. At the end of the day it's you that gets to wear the consequences whichever way you jump.
Quote from: Garraty_47 on October 29, 2024, 12:01:35 PMYeah.
I actually said as much.
Do you ever get dizzy from chasing your own tail this hard?
That wasn't a flex... it was an observation.
I have no idea.
We weren't enemies (or frenemies) but we weren't chums either.
I haven't seen or heard anything about him for years.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on October 23, 2024, 05:31:58 PMOf course not.
The internet hasn't even been *around* for most of the time humans have been finding creative ways to call each other fuckheads. But we weren't talking about ALL of recorded history... we were talking about an internet-based phenomenon called "flaming".
What you're doing is like barging into a discussion of how fuel injection replaced 8-barrel carburetors and shouting: "Ya know, people used to ride horses. Like with hooves. Sat in saddles when they did it."
It's weird.
Quote from: Dove on October 27, 2024, 10:19:23 AMOh pffft I gave all his information to Murdock lol.
Told and showed people what was in his back ground check. I don't care at all about his privacy after the shit he pulled with me.
And I have never, ever, in my almost 20 years on being on these sorts of troll forums ever doxxed anyone or shared anyone information ever.
But I've never had anyone go that level batshit at me on the internet.
I've had men I've dumped go into desperate hysterics but that's usually real life....not on a fucking forum with someone I only talked to for like a month lol.
Poofer should have thought that through. I have openly said that no one on the internet or on these boards will ever succeed in running me off. If someone is trying to, I'm MORE likely to stick around because the drama of it all attracts me.
You cannot frighten or embarrass someone who doesn't give a fuck. I'm that person, so if someone feels pi froggy with me they better be ready to fail horribly.
Quote from: Grimmy on October 27, 2024, 08:54:14 PMIts almost like people shouldn't divulge their PI on troll forums!If you're not concerned about privacy being violated then it's not an issue.

A wacky concept to be sure.
