We know about how you’ll never forgive a murderer, never forgive a pedophile, never forgive a child molester .etc
I want to know from anyone, what else they find pretty unforgivable.
For me, it’s when you dox me or someone else. I’m from the old ancient internet days as it was developing and doxxing is something you just don’t do. In some aspects, doxxing is useful for revealing extremely problematic users like online pedophiles. But a lot of times, doxxing is just an extreme dirty move to pull on anyone when nobody wants their online personas tied to their real lives. Especially in an age where privacy is white hot.
Someone actually did dox me on their Facebook and I already disliked them to begin with, but they went into the “I hate this fucking person” part with me when I discovered that they doxxed me. And no matter if there’s any chance at all to attempt to reconcile any difference, they’ve crossed that line, I don’t trust them and again, I hate the living shit out of them for it.
I count trying to connect someone’s alts together as doxing, since it violates the right to anonymity. If someone’s made the choice to leave their name behind and establish a new identity, I say give them a chance. Let them be forgiven, don’t tie them to their past.
But I don’t think it’s unforgivable. If I did, I’d be a huge hypocrite. I think everything can be forgiven if there’s a commitment to do better.
(I do think exposing someone for sockpuppeting is acceptable, but that’s a special case)
