#2this whole thing has really turned me off reddit. i blocked it in my /etc/hosts and my productivity has gone way up.
also, makes me appreciate the efforts of HN to keep things civil and intelligent - even if it means a lot of my posts and comments go nowhere.

Doxxing him and ruining his life was okay then? Even though he didn't post or created those creepy subreddits which you have the liberty NOT to go to?

#4On the one hand I feel bad for his wife, she's suffering over something she had nothing to do with. Her husband lost his job and now she has no health care insurance.
On the other hand, this guy was posting a TON of offensive, downright disgusting content. He was stupid enough to share his personal information with someone online, that's his fault.
Doing stupid shit online + sharing who you are in real life (even to a single person) = you're going to have a bad time.

#6I'm not blaming Reddit for what this guy posted, but the truth is that Reddit encouraged this kind of posts (they gave him an award!).
Let's see how this affect reddit in the future.

#7It seems like he is only remorseful because he got caught. And as Cooper pointed out: he only mentions the negative impact on himself and his family (what about the girls whose photos he posted?) and tries to shift most of the responsibility to Reddit.

> Doxxing him and ruining his life was okay then?
False dichotomy, one can think they are both bad.

> this whole thing has really turned me off reddit.
To me, that's like saying, "that dirty alt.binaries.whatever group really turned me off USENET."
The reddit I visit doesn't have any violentacrez. Nor does the reddit my wife visits. The thing reddit gets right is the ability to customize and narrowly define what content you get fed. Mine looks like a more scattered HN. My wife's looks like a text-based Pinterest.
