Well, besides the fact there was no discrepancies, there is also the fact that Moonrise’s difference was minor and didn’t change anything, whilst MH was apparently making things up to show expertise.
But I see a big issue here.
There should be nothing wrong at all, with a poster making minor changes in his personal life to obfuscate things for the Doxxers. That doesn’t mean they are lying or a troll. As long as the minor items are not used to make you into an expert.
Sure claiming you are a Doctor in one thread about medical issues, and a Lawyer in another about legal ones- that is lying and maybe trolling. But mentioning you are 45 vs 47, or living in one town in SoCal rather than another similar one- that makes no difference to the discussion (assuming you are familiar with both).
But all this obsessively searching for minor discrepancies about a poster (mostly because you disagree with that poster) - that is really the Jerkish behavior , and should be moderated.
I mean- nearly all of us are sorta liars- my name is not really DrDeth (and I am not a real doctor, but I think I have made that clear), and I sorta think Superdude here wasn’t given that moniker on his birth cert. We create a online personae- one which is an alter ego, one which should be close, but not necessarily exactly the same as in real life. Minor details changed to avoid doxxers NEED to be acceptable. Pitting posters due to jerks finding those tiny discrepancies should be outright banned, as it is the start of doxxing. (and yes, we don’t allow that here, but there are other MBs).
Yes, obviously. I mean there have been many posts in ATMB which are much more hostile and accusing. Even saying “that warning was richly deserved” is sorta hostile.
