It's defensible because it's public record. Wikipedia has been doxing editors by default for decades. It's one way that they intimidate people from making edits.
I've never edited anything there but log in sometimes just if I'm interested in a topic and want to bookmark it. This is making me think I should just delete my account.
You should not make that decision only because of this conversation, what if they are massively misinformed?
Truth. Good point. I'm waiting till I get myself more well informed. Thanks.
