    I'm almost certain that he's said he still has to apply or interview each year, even to stay at the same school.

    Plus, doxxing covers things people don't normally put out there to find, like their address...which is the only piece of Dayton's life he hasn't shared. :jayzus:

    If, say, someone connected my username to a review of some obscure Star Trek book on Amazon from 2003 because she had no life outside of Wordforge to help her buddy that had an irrational grudge against me....then no, that's not doxxing.

    For the dog's information we already have laws covering illegal actions using personal information. Most things like name and address are already public information that one can easily obtain. Privacy of your public information or actions in public is not private by definition. You have to make some effort to be private. Saying things on a message board that others can see effectively negates your expectation of privacy.

    You could find out his address just by putting his name into google. You can also find out his phone number, places he has worked, his family names and addresses, the places he has lived over his life, his mention in public hearings, and many other things that get compiled in public records. You can also track any statements he has made under his real name like book reviews and if he got his name in the paper for some reason.

    None of that is going away any time soon because it is the info the banks and debt collectors use to track you along with the government and advertisers. Stopping people from getting that information would make it much harder for them to find you to harass you about your student loan or call your to tell you that the car you sold ten years ago needs a new warranty while you are in the middle of dinner (which hopefully for your health is not @Dinner).

    Not really. I saw the name change, and knew school was starting. When I'm not on here, I don't give him any thought.

    You would have to be an idiot to have given out so much personal info and posted so many pictures online with your real face and think you had any possibility of hiding your crazy by pretending to be a talking dog. I have to admit that was really sick of him to pretend to be @Tracker and think that is really going to stop people from figuring things out.

    Arkansas must be pretty desperate to be employing him as a substitute to begin with.

    That is a lot of digging for a hiring manager to do. However, I am pretty sure most Arkansas children could look that shit up during homeroom so they can humiliate Mr. Kitchens by lunch. I figure he has been mentioned enough in school board meetings to pop up on the radar of any hiring manager.

    I am just a little amazed that someone with such great praxis scores, a mail order business management degree, and who is so notably great at coaching football and beloved by his students that he would not be tenured and he would only be a substitute who cannot hold a position. It is almost like @Tracker lives in a fantasy world.

    Changing your username to try and hide your identity is also kinda pointless when all the posts that quote you don't get changed.

    Kind of odd that anyone would think that was a reason I changed my username.

    Kind of odd that a guy who's used the same username for over a decade on a variety of messageboards would suddenly decide he needed to change in on one of the boards he's still able to post at. Almost makes one wonder if he's not trying to hide something. :chris:

    How does changing my username at one and only one board hide anything. It was just a whim. I'll probably see about changing it nearly back in a couple of days.

    How does "President Dayton Kitchens" sound?

    Hey, I am going with your new fursona and being nice. It is not easy admitting you are a dog, and it must be even harder for an idiot like you who everyone loves to kick around to admit something that opens up a new avenue of abuse. Don't get my recognition of your new identity wrong, because I am fully supporting your new identity as the group's dog.

    What if @Tracker chooses to carry his "new identity" as a dog into real life? I would think he'd be entitled to conversion therapy and hydrants in public restrooms. He'd be entitled to be a part of a protected class...just like you. So you guys are equals in this regard.

    I know some fursuiters, and if he want to lift his leg on a bush I personally don't have a problem with it as long as he bags his #2. If he can afford to do it all the more power to him as it does not hurt me in the slightest.
