    Have you read the article? Please do not making things up. The original holder of the handle created it 16 years ago.

      Where is the part where that matters in the slightest. Still a username on a live service that is subject to change at any time, and there has never been an expectation of ownership.

        Where is the part where that matters in the slightest.

        You are proposing that, in justification of the dick move, this user is “no doubt” squatting or obtained the username maliciously when that isn’t the case based on the second paragraph of the article and other interviews with the original registrant of the handle. I don’t really think that’s a good faith discussion.

        Regarding your second sentence, I don’t disagree but at I’m also not trying to make a point beyond my first reply of “sometimes you shouldn’t do things that you are able to do”.
