Blocking out the names but not the @s was certainly a choice. Or was the inanity part of a stealth advertising campaign where people point out the inanity and thus call attention to the @. The internet’s friggin weird.
I just do it as a courtesy to the people as I'm usually making fun of them in forums they didn't originally post in. It's not like I'm thinking about it as being doxxing, more just that I'm poking fun at someone behind their back - if they're a public figure that's one thing - but the average Joe? Just feels impolite. That's why I do it anyway.
