Your side of the story:
Late last night—12/11/2023 for me in AEDT—I started to get into a bit of a—well, argument isn't right. I was mostly just straight-up insulting a person; the context for this is long and boring. But it mostly is due to a comment on a GitHub PR that made me quite upset due to it seeming belittling and condescending. They made a wrong statement, on numerous accounts, and following that, I proceeded to mock and shame them in a quite mean way. This is all publicly available in the spritebus channel's history. I will not dispute it, or claim I was not being an asshole—because, in all honesty, I probably was. Later on—following that conversation—we, being Potato, thgvr, and AnturK, moved on to talking about self-improvement in the kind, I believe the cause of this topic was Potato telling me to reflect on my actions a bit more. I am not sure. As a direct quote, I said:
if you think this is bad you should've seen me 6 years ago
And, immediately following that I said:
tbh back then I probably would've just doxxed this guy for pissing me off that much [...] which I did like [...] once [...] years and years ago [...] (bad thing) [...] (very very bad thing)
Following that, the conversation devolved into other topics, regarding irony, jokes, and a bunch of other stuff I cannot fully remember due to it being a bit of a haze, and my inability to check, due to well, being banned.
Why you think you should be unbanned:
I'm not gonna dispute the asshole claim—that's probably true. Even other people I respect told me I was being an asshole at the time. In my defence—it was late, and I was tired. But that is an excuse that it's really easy to discount, so I will not carry on about it. But the doxxing claim I will entirely dispute. The conversation topic was about self-improvement and how we were shitty people years ago, I am unsure how you can interpret me specifying past me and then ending the mention with me specifically mentioning it was a very bad thing to do as a doxxing threat, no matter how "veiled." As well—at this point—the conversation had entirely moved beyond that person, and they were out of my mind. I brought them up here as it was needed to bring up that before, I was a shitty person, who, at one point, doxxed someone. I do not believe anyone at the time believed it was a dog-whistle/veiled threat and people I have talked to since making this have agreed that it doesn't come close to resembling a threat.
Again—I cannot dispute the toxicity or claims of being an asshole, you want to punish me for that, you are probably well within your rights to do so, and I would not be able to dispute that in any real manner. But to claim I was threatening to doxx someone? I'm sorry, but I can't see it. Especially as someone who's been doxxed myself before on this very forum. I am aware of how serious /tg/ takes even threats of doxxing, but I still think you have to stretch it quite far from a claim about me specifying a past version of myself doing a noted bad action, into me threatening a person—who I believe at this point—had left the server and wasn't even reading the conversation. Again—immediately after what was said, I very clearly specified that doxxing is an awful thing to do—and it wasn't an attempt to piggyback either, as no one had even brought up doxxing or it being a morally reprehensible action (which it is). This is not trying to sound defensive, or blame-passing, but I seriously an unable to see how one can construe such a clear disavowment, into a supposed veiled threat.
