Oh man, yeah there has been some absolute dogshit ones on LLVM. The Docker one has also seen some pretty freaky weirdos. It’s a bit sad, we’re all on the same OSS team in the end. I’ve never found it that difficult to keep it cut and dry on software repos, I don’t know why people don’t just save the venom for forums and social media like the good ol days.

Got some links? Would love to read.

Here’s lattner telling some guy off. There’s none that I can think of that are super memeworthy or anything. It’s usually just insecure devs with a little Dunning Kruger cocktail in the mix.

Certainly not anybody bothering dozens of people manually, for months, like in the link. That’s pretty wild.

I used to know Bryan, a long, long time ago. He would stand and stare into the windows of girls he fantasized about. Very creepy. Not surprised he's doing this. The guy has no boundaries.

> what do you think happens when you make yourself lost contact with these people? Well, having been 'compartmentalized' earlier in life and never receiving any help or social training, they continue to perpetually abuse other people. It's really not his or her job to fix abusers.

>It's really not his or her job to fix abusers. most societies believe that each individual must contribute to some degree. It's being lost, but for most societies historically the mentally ill were the burden of the immediate family. Now we see the effects of the mental illness affecting society-at-large, it stands to reason that the entirety of the affected population is now somewhat responsible for making their ow…

That sounds like tax money to be used for mental health services.

Agreed. My friend was stabbed by a schizophrenic who lived in the flat opposite and believed that my friend was stalking him. Ten years later and my friend still has virtually no feeling in his hand as the nerves did not grow back correctly and he had to give up being a professional musician. I know the guy didn't choose to be the way he was and I'm sure what was going through his mind was hell. But that doesn't mean…

>I know the guy didn't choose to be the way he was and I'm sure what was going through his mind was hell. But that doesn't mean that the rest of us should just live with the consequences of harmful actions. ok, but aside from a time-machine and time-cops, what do we do? We 'compartmentalize' the ill out of our lives -- they don't just disappear, they roam the streets and poorly interact with societies .. -OR- certain…

> certain professionals sacrifice aspects of their lives in order to facilitate treatment and professional isolation for such individuals in an effort to keep them off the street and out of interactions with regular society.

That was literally my dad’s job. In the UK in the 80s they implemented a policy called “care in the community” which was about ensuring that people with serious mental health issues were not institutionalised. For the most part this was a good thing but my dad actually made the decisions over the care and freedom they would receive. Eventually he quit because he felt too many dangerous people were being released - and in the end worked at Rampton, which is a prison hospital, looking after serial killers.

Doxxing is not illegal in the US. It may be a component of another crime, such as slander or incitement to violence. If the individual in question believes this organization has done either of those things, they are welcome to involve the law (as the other party is doing).

yeah, this whole idea that "doxxing" is a universal harm needs to be corrected. not exposing people's real-world identities is a courtesy we obey to protect each other from harassment. if it becomes a way to protect the harassers, then we've lost the point. nobody has a natural right to anonymity, and if your actions are causing real harm then you should expect some of the real-world consequences that come from havin…

> nobody has a natural right to anonymity is this a joke? https://epic.org/issues/democracy-free-speech/anonymity

just because a lobby group exists to push the idea that everybody has a right to anonymity, doesn't make it true

> People often don't chose to be as they are. That's true but what does it have to do with the price of tea in China? The commenter raised a valid point that we may need to decide to compartmentalize for the sake of our own well being. This does not necessarily imply any measure of judgement against the other person.

Why are you blathering about tea?

It is an idiom https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/the+price+of+tea+in+Chi...
