This subvoat is about programming in general: Submissions must be directly programming related.
I think we can do without the drama.

No publishing took place and calling it "doxxing" makes it a click-bait title.
Wikipedia gives it another definition:
Doxing is the Internet-based practice of researching and broadcasting personally identifiable information about an individual.
Since when is a google search equal to researching something?
If you can find it via a google search then it's meant to be found.

attempts to dox user
Really? Googling an email address is considered doxxing?
Don't get me wrong the guy is obviously a dick but come on!
Google isn't difficult; and the word is a neologism so yes, it's not simple to understand like "cheese", for example.
Also, you might want to refrain from calling people bad names. It diminishes your credibility.
Cheers. :)
