Doxxing is the publication of someone's personal data in a public place, usually the Internet. It is not a private request to delete something from a relay.
I shouldn't have to explain that to you.

YOU personally identified a person who wrote to your business. We're not arguing over the request content. There is no hypocrisy here. You don't leak personally identifiable information like this. Redact the names addresses and so on. I just don't see how this is a debate.
Wipe your ass with the request and post an image of the skidmark covering the names and emails...
Doxxing comes from the word documenting. It involves compiling private, difficult to acquire information so as to expose someone to harassment OR LEGAL ACTION
When you send your real name in an email to multiple parties making demands that they, in the US, are legally allowed to reproduce, that is no longer private or difficult to acquire. If jb55 had compiled this information himself or received it from a malicious 3rd party that would be doxxing. Receiving it from the actual person whose identity has been exposed is not the same thing.
Yes, whether or not this is technically doxxing this is still illegal in Germany (as are a lot of things, like calling your obese politicians fat). But both jb55 and his company are not in Germany and the US govt has made it clear that they will not enforce Europe's speech laws
Doxxing has no place in respectful discourse, focus on ideas not individuals.
One-sided privacy like any other one-sided contract is not a thing. You don't get to send me random data unsolicited and then demand I treat it as secret regardless of its contents before I agree to anything at all.
