I get it. Pile on the Troll or get run off. What a welcoming message board! I’m already being Doxxed and picked on.

You can delete your comment yourself, just select your comment, press the three dots to the right and select the garbage can. I don’t think it will work when someone have quoted it.

Either he has no idea what that word means, or he is admitting to being a sock and is complaining about linking it back to his other account.

If someone is being doxxed then you are posting information online letting everyone know things about them and removing their anonymity.

So they are declaring that hinting at them being a sock of stuccosuperstar2020 is unfairly outing them and removing the anonymity of being an unidentified sock.

We need to be more courteous to the confessed sock I guess?

Yes, I know what doxxing is. It simply strikes me as implausible that **gadzookery** was confessing to sockitude, so I wondered if they did.
