I'm still trying to put all the pieces together, but https://digipres.club/@discatte/115588660312186707 sure paints Adafruit as the bad party here, though I'm open to information which shows otherwise to understand better.

This adds some more context I guess https://chaos.social/@North/115605819126197877

Honestly the whole thing seems like everyone overreacting on both sides. Accusing someone is "doxing" because they used your first name?

[suobset]

The collections of threads, statements, and accusations on both sides are some of the most unhinged things I have seen in a while, and I don't think any of this helps anyone. :')

I have to say; they all sound like whining babies with the emotional integrity of a 13 year old hormonal teenager.

And these people run major businesses?

And the complaining about doxxing because he posted the person's email address? Grow up, mate.

I believe they are claiming doxing based on connecting an email to a social media account.

[relaxing]

Buried in there is the Sparkfun guy did in fact register a vanity domain and stand up a site for the purpose of harassing the Adafruit guy.

Kind of shitty to play the victim at that point.

I don't have a bone in this race, but if someone has deliberately hidden their identity online, knowingly disclosing that is malicious, regardless of any other morality involved.

Consider people who have their public persona very deliberately obfuscated, like Banksy, or Chuck Tingle - it's very intentional that both of them do not disclose that, and if you found out either of their legal names, and disclosed it publicly, it would be with deliberate intent to subvert them.

Or consider if someone posted online they had a beer, and they lived somewhere that considered that an egregious crime even if they did it somewhere that it was legal. If you deliberately released proof that the person posting "I had a beer" was this person, it would have malicious intent, regardless of how you feel about the morality of beer.

People seem to throw the words "doxxing" and "harassing" very lightly these days, if you ask me, although I'll give that nobody in this whole mess seems to be capable of calm or even non-violent communication.

Reading this, it looks like everyone needs a break.

[notaustinpowers]

This whole thing just seems like two terrible people being terrible to each other and both vying for sympathy to be the less terrible person in this.

[ddtaylor]

That looks like the usual social media victim style posting.
