I disagree and I wouldn't call it a dossier. If someone takes a stance on a certain issue it is helpful to know why.

Edit: ...and I could have just the same pointed out to past comments on HN.

I think even bringing in a list of past HN comments would be over the line, though perhaps not as creepy. HN threads are supposed to be conversations, not courtrooms.

These were simply citations; adding context to someone's statement. I find it hard to understand that the information we all post freely online is creepy when we are confronted on it. Shouldn't we just stand by what we say?
