    Dude I just wanted to close by saying I get where your head’s at. I’m there too.

    I have a friend who is closeted LGBT and works with kids. They are a completely upstanding person. But they confided in me after trump was elected they are afraid of their address and or status/identity getting to some other adults who said they think all LGBT are pedos. So I have that in my head, my friend is scared. I’m amped up about this (and the Linux dev who got swatted on stream) and I just see destruction that way. I get others don’t.

    People really don’t like my opinion on this but I just can’t see doxxing as something I ever contribute to, or offhand accept. But I’m just one dude and no one needs to care about me outside of the up/down votes.

    Edit sorry I got spicy in the latter replies, feeling like I’m up against the world for trying to stay sane.

      We’re on the same side, we just vehemently disagree on methods. They’re already using that shit against the people I care about. I’ve gotten in actual fights with people talking shit about women, LGBT folks, and, in one case where I got locked up, a guy with a speech impediment because someone thought he was the r-word. It’s been a while because I tend not to be that violent anymore, but I’m fucking tired. Ain’t none of this other shit working.

      You know what, I’m sorry too. I know we’re on the same side but I came at you in a shitty way. It’s something I’m working on, but I’m not in a great place lately. Thank you for coming at me a different way so I could see how shitty I was being. We can disagree on this and still fight for the same things.
