Tolerance Is Not A Moral Precept.
This is a thorough once-over giving the lie to the "conservatives'" self-serving bullshit squealing that "Butbutbutbutbut if you don't tolerate my intolerance you're a hypocrite!" The short version, as put forth in the article, is this: tolerance is a peace treaty, not a suicide pact.
Put another way, it's social technology, just like laws. It allows us, in an ever-more-connected global society, to exist and function. Like a treaty it covers those, and only those, who are party to it.
This means that if you're a genocidal fucking psychopath then no, Virginia, we do not have to "tolerate" your unhinged ramblings. You are cancer in the body politic. You have gleefully ripped your human card to shreds and dropped the pieces in an incinerator, cackling like a hyena on PCP at how you have "owned the libs." You have placed yourselves outside the treaty. We are not obligated to put up with your shit.
tl;dr: if you can't behave like a civilized human being, don't be surprised when you get treated like a rabid animal. Read and be better, or don't, it's your choice, but don't bitch when you get your find-outs.

That is SOP for doxxing.
Admins claim the aristarchus account doxxed, and they say the info is still in the database but will not link to it. I recall the aristarchus account posting some kind of doxxing info, are you saying that is false? That the aristarchus account never posted Runawa1956's info? I've seen joke addresses and some that looked real, also Runaway's real name supposedly posted by AC.
I think you're just a vindictive asshole sinking to Runaway's level because the site run by libertarian types refused to ban a degenerate like Runaway1956. I hope the libertarians are figuring out why free speech only protects people from the government, and why those running web forums should clean up users that promote violence and bigotry.
