|content=For those who know me as slow to anger, that remains true. But, stalking, physical threats, impersonating my business to spread anti-semitism/misogyny, doxxing & taking my wife’s work w/o attribution puts you in a different category. '''Especially''' if you work at my email provider.

The Internet or gamer culture is not an excused absence from being a human being. You don’t get to harass or terrorize families in real life just because you have an ISP.

This isn’t a scientific dispute. It’s about being a human and using that life to harass for sport & lulz.
