If you doxx a nym publicly, no matter the reason, I will block you and never trust a word you say or a thing you build ever again.

If someone is actually threatening you you should 100% go to the police, that is never OK and I don't support that either way.

Just because an OPSEC mistake was made in the past doesn't justify using your platform to share it broadly and ensure the most reach possible. -
I, also, have previously been careless with my IRL ID, and if someone dug that up and used their platform to abuse the fact and try and get more people to know who I was it would be equally disgusting.

Doxxing is evil whether or not the detail disclosed was previously public. -
