Great! Maybe this will cause a decrease in the total number of people getting harassed by jerks on the internet.

Interesting that people seem to not like your comment. Isn't harassment and doxxing against the rules around here? What's the principle that disagrees with this statement that doesn't also apply to everything else on site?

The rule is against doxxing and harassment here. That doesn't mean we can't support or advocate for their use elsewhere.

Not that I am trying to do that per se. But just pointing out that HN doesn't & can't really demand ideological commitment to not using specific conflict tactics broadly.

You've misunderstood me, in a way that doesn't make sense as unintentional. Of course I'm not commenting on the rules of HN. Why would I comment in support of a user who just restates those rules then?

Sorry I misunderstood you. It really was not intentional. People state the rules of HN all the time, I really thought that was all you were doing.
