With all the whodunnit speculation, I would like to just say that it's pretty gay and retarded to say stuff like "oh well it couldn't be a kiwi, we have rules here." It could be anyone, lurking kiwis included, and none of us have any fucking clue.
Generally though, when people a-log or ween, they're desperate for attention
If it's a non-Pat source, they could be anyone, but I tend to think it's not someone from here or OnA because of this. Older posters have the established forum guidelines, Fresh Meat would be posting about it for asspats and accolades. Doesn't mean it's not someone from either place, just suggests that whoever is doing it isn't doing it just as a forum poster, but for their own enjoyment.
I'm still certain Pat has done at least a few himself, especially the ones when he's not in the house. Between him and him lying about what counts as a SWATting, I still think the majority of them are him and his lies. But we don't really know, I could be wrong, it just fits my mental image of Pat.
it's silly to say "don't troll" but "here's a well organized table of all addresses, phone numbers, family members, and employers"
No it's not, it's treating the posters as adults. Sure, we're all retarded faggots, but that doesn't mean posters here see the personal information of a cow and just have to use it for trolling. And we're a responsible for someone using that information for trolling as everything from Zillow to the phone book are for having the information.
To me, the ethos of the site of pointing and laughing but not interacting is exactly what I want. Doxing is part of that, just because it so often reveals a cow's lies, and typing a name into the search bar of here is just as much effort as doing the same into Google, which most of our doxes are based on. What people do with that information is their call, of course, but just because the cows repeat 'doxing and harassment site' like a mantra doesn't mean the two are inextricably linked. And it's even more hollow when the harassment they complain about, on the rare chance it's real, is also entirely online, meaning their dox had nothing to do with it.
To me, dox are part of the fuller picture of documenting a cow, and that information is value neutral when gotten from public sources the cow has posted themselves. Null has put the ethos of 'look, but don't touch, or we'll mock you just as much' all over the site, and blaming the Farms for any harassment ignores the number of other places that collect that information, from Google to doxbin. Cows will blame us no matter where the information came from, same as they blame us for things that we had nothing to do with, as Lucas proved repeatedly.
So the only real problem is if you're morally opposed to archivists collating public information, which 99.99% of all dox here is. Which, go talk to Becky Gerber about it first, seeing how that's her job - and read her thread, which is as good an example of how a cow's dox helps disprove their bullshit as any, while also being sourced from information she herself had posted.
