This is like claiming that you didn't key someone's car, because the scratches weren't signed with your signature.

No one doxxing others in that particular clique is going to do it from anything other than a burner account.

"No one doxxing others in that particular clique is going to do it from anything other than a burner account."

This is incorrect.

many do it with accounts linked to their real onwiki profiles. jps is an example and I provided a link to unambiguous doxxing:

They've been doing it since 2016 when they started an" alt-right identification thread":

Others use accounts linked to their onwiki personas to ask for doxx. e.g. AndyTheGrump is a well-known user who posts in the "alt-right identification thread" about someone they dislike and getting a quick response. Here's AndyTheGrump asking for doxx on a user named "BlueGraf".

Quickly followed up with that individuals full name and employment.

And many editors/admins participate in those doxxing threads to gawk or have fun under their real usernames.

Okay, but now that's an unfalsifiable statement. What makes you think the burners are tied to the well-known accounts?
Says the guy who's telling us "check for ourselves, no one doxxed anyone!" as if it means anything.
