Fine, that's your opinion (it's not mine), so please discuss the document you brought up, that you've auspiciously avoided mentioning for the past two replies.

The document you brought up says "Unfortunately, on August 1st, Luna publicly: Doxxed me with a real-world identity". On that day, Luna said Asahi Lina was Hector Martin. Discuss.




There's a reason why the document says "Doxxed me with a real-world identity" and not "Doxxed me with MY real-world identity." It's because she was doxxed, but the doxxing was wrong.


"Doxxing" refers to providing the real world identity of a psuedononymous person, breaking their pseudoanonymity.

It doesn't refer to providing the WRONG identity, as that wouldn't break their pseudoanonymity. You, hananova -- are the QUEEN OF FRANCE! Did I doxx you or not? I don't believe I did.

You can't have it both ways. Either Hector Martin is Asahi Lina (which he is), and Luna revealed this to Martin's chagrin, and Martin published a document to try and trash Luna's reputation as a clumsy attempt at damage control, or Luna didn't reveal Martin's barely-concealed secret and no need to publish the document.

By publishing the document, we know which interpretation is correct.
