Comparing rape or violence to having your real life identity on
wikipedia outed is a loathsome analogy that trivializes rape and
violence, manipulates emotions and tries to exploit what victims of
rape and violence have gone through in order to make a point.
While you may be the beneficiary of this insensitive and boorish
attempt to score a debating point I hope that you have enough
perspective to rise above the fray and condemn ArmedBlowFish's writing
for what it is.
SV, quite frankly, you were sloppy and made mistakes. You used a
pseudonym that could be linked to you in real life. You edited
articles that you were connected to in real life in an obvious way.
You left a trail. Yes, it's too bad you were outed but it's not rape
and it's not violence. People shouldn't be saying that it is and you
shouldn't be encouraging them.

As I read Armedblowfish's post (from memory), he compared this
situation to rape, violence, OR harassment, and his point was one
about people being attacked for being attacked. It would make more
sense to take that point, rather than focusing on a provocative word.
(This isn't directed at Matthew, by the way, but at the other editors
who complained, though I've lost track of who they were.)
