"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.
