Unless it was done with malicious intent (it sounds like it wasn't), this shouldn't have been a ban. Is it doxxing if someone says twitter.com/RussEfarmer in chat when my username is RussEfarmer? Is it doxxing if I say Dinkleberg's real name when it's the name of his YouTube channel that comes up with you type !css? Is it acceptable to be mad that someone knows what my face looks like when it's literally all over my YouTube channel, which is the first link that comes up when you type RussEfarmer on Google? I hardly think so.

It's natural to have the expectation of privacy, and it's expected for social networks like ourselves to protect the online privacy of our users where we can. However, there is something very important that needs to be understood: there is ZERO expectation of privacy on the Internet. Anything you post or say, or anyone you like or follow, is almost always public information, and services like Google and the Internet Archive are browsing through and indexing this information. If you don't want someone knowing it, don't post it. This means that, while it is a rational response to be upset at someone for using information about you against you (i.e. bullying or threatening), it is not a rational response to be upset at a person for knowing the information in the first place.

If you care about your privacy online highly I recommend you step back and evaluate your media outlets and presence on the internet, and determine what you do or do not want people to know about you.
