...which is why I had literally brought them up solely as an example of something universally called by a customary size despite the controlling dimension being metric.  :palm:

Doxing is researching and revealing other's details. I'm asking you to voluntarily post your own details as you clearly suggest you have no concerns about privacy as you're posting on an internet forum. You should have no qualms about posting your details here. If the reply to this message isn't your home address you obviously concede that you do care about privacy as much as bsfeechannel, only with slightly differing personal boundaries. You share your country but not address, bsfeechannel shares videos but not his country.

I'm sorry, but that's a ridiculous comparison.  Equating sharing your home address versus the COUNTRY that you live in as being SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT as privacy boundaries?   ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)  Seriously?

Yes, of course it was an intentionally pointed comparison.

But can you grasp that a person may indeed want to keep their country of origin private? Not because they are concerned that you would seek and find them there if you knew. But e.g. because they are concerned about prejudices others might have about that country, which may distort how posts from someone living there are read by others?

Yea really, it's a good thing that doesn't ever happen to people displaying my flag.
