Back to the OP- So, this little self-referential shite show goes something like this.

Some self-righteous knucklehead used 325 to dox some random troll.

They missed their intended target in their driveby and ended up doxing some bystander and his kids. That does kinda suck, no matter who this wrongly targeted person was.

The troll they intended to dox is actually a doxing little shitstain themselves so we are now stuck in the awkward situation of defending a doxer for being doxed.

Nonetheless, all that aside, doxing is akin to snitching so we cannot defend the doxing in this case because "so and so deserved it." Doxing is wrong and a weak-ass passive-aggressive move. It is akin to snitching. Period.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch--

We have a milieu, which calls itself anarchy, which has clearly been appropriated and compromised. Maybe, MAYBE, 1% of the people who identify this title these days function in a way that resembles some kind of good faith behavior. Mostly though, not so much.

In fact, as much as some people may not like to admit it, the term anarchy has been tainted. If you associate with the term, you are unfortunately and immediately covered in the patina of behavior, some would like to say is a exercised by a "vocal minority" but in reality is more than that.

Why persist? Is a label that important? Let the shit heads have it. Because then they win? It's a pyrrhic victory. You're trying to reclaim ground that has already been salted.
tl;dr- Why you still goin' to book fairs that identify as "anarchist", bro?

You're wasting your time and energy, fighting over a tendency that is no longer a tendency but has rather devolved into a fashion accessory, worn by people that do not represent even a fraction of your interests and have no interest in good faith conversations. They can't even muster the courage and fortitude it would take to confront you in real-life. They must resort to sneaky, snitchy, passive-aggressive, weak ass tactics of avoidance of confrontation. I know from experience that these people will never get in the same room and behave in the same ways that they will online, or undercover. By acting in such a way they forfeit any respect you may have accorded them. FORGET THEM AND FORGET TRYING TO INTERACT WITH THESE PEOPLE. You're wasting time and energy better spent on your projects.

Go about the business of working on your projects with people you can at least engage in food faith dialogues with or failing that at least people you can have a healthy debate and respectful disagreement with. These kinds of people do exist, just not in abundance. So be it.

Guess what? You're free. JUST WALK AWAY.

Watch me now. I won't even let the door hit my ass on the way out.
