Yes, that's what I also discovered. I don't want to be anyone's savior. I just don't appreciate any of us making light of doxxing people. I'm not about to avoid admitting I was wrong, because I was, but I still don't appreciate these "jokes". SBBH explains away their "jokes" all the same.
All you're doing is making me more suspicious. Why not just let be wrong? Why are you so adamant about insisting it's just a joke? You're fighting to the bitter end here - why?
Is dark humor encouraging rape or murder? These jokes aren't going to make people think doxxing is innocent.

Because a more important thing to argue against than jokes is the idea that doxxing can be used for good. I'm not saying whether it can or cannot, but I do think arguing whether doxxing doxxers or bad actors is okay or not is a much more important point.

You're zoomed too far out. A question like this requires considerable context. For instance, the context here is the comparison of behavior of a group that did this and saw a particular result everyone should be uneasy with versus the behavior of a power user at a site that dedicates large portions of its time to speaking about (or venting over) certain paradigms concocted by users they fled from.
You keep repeating "it's just jokes" over and over again. That doesn't shift the veracity of such an assertion one single bit.
I get it, dude - I targeted the wrong person. In the end, I don't think that matters a whole lot now that your position as well as mine is cemented. I don't care about you agreeing with me. Someone got doxxed already. We should all be vigilant now.

It's important to ask about the effect of humor. It's implied in what you brought up, whether you really intended that or not.

Not being serious can actually change that. Joking about hating someone and meaning it are quite different.

Everyone was always concerned about doxxing. Most people think it's completely bad. Some people think it's justified though. Nobody reached that conclusion due to humor. Did you not hear about the stance of doxxing doxxers or bad actors before? I think that would be much more concerning than jokes.
