I'm taking this tone because you started your statement with:

    Reddit's whole fear of doxxing stems from a culture of license where there's an irrational (and many cases, immoral) desire to be free of any or all negative consequences while enjoying all the positives.

That's victim-blaming, pure and simple.

You continue with:

    There is a very simple rule to some stuff on the internet: if you wouldn't do something away from the keyboard, don't do it at the keyboard and expect some arbitrary internet rules to save you.

So that if there was any question as to whether or not you blame the victim, you've laid it all out there - yes, it's the victim's fault. Who are these victims?

    Applies equally to posturing for "brave" political views, romances or hookups, exposing your genitals and/or engaging in gossip.

So... people who deserve it. Obviously, someone who got doxxed is the sort of person who would "expose their genitals" or "engage in gossip." Any humility? Any chance you might include yourself in that group?

    So no, I don't fear posting because I post stuff I generally feel is reflective of what I really think and feel and am willing to say in public. Why make things more complicated than that?

No, no. You're clever. And moral. People who lead moral lives have nothing to fear.

Let's be clear:

- They doxed my wife to get back at me - for suggesting that delivering babies out of a hospital shouldn't be worthy of a death sentence.

- They tried to dox me for preventing them from ruining two people's lives through slander.

- They sent a SWAT team after an /r/gaming mod for taking down a picture of a PC.

NOW you're changing tactics to Reddit's inability to remember and "nihilism of mission" but a good 80% of your previous post was an argument that if you got doxxed, you deserved it.

And it just ain't so.
