> let the internet have its field day and let's all go home...We all also know that nobody will get harmed regardless of all the drama
It's easy to say this when one is not the target. I imagine it would be difficult to ignore doxing, death threats, swatting, and/or harassing of family and friends.
Fair enough, it's just that when I read some statistics it was something like only 0.3% of all physical threats have ever been followed up with something, and most of the times it was something like just following somebody with a car for a few days and then stop.
I get it, it can be extremely scary, I just don't think most internet warriors have what it takes to be actual criminals.
But I can also stand behind the idea that we shouldn't risk it, yeah.
