Pretty sure German law doesn't define the English term "doxxing". And again, 
maybe the conference organisation, not Kieran, violated German law, but:

1) That does not justify knowingly repeated slander against another member of 
the community (or really anyone).
2) The conference is probably outside German jurisdiction anyway.
3) In all likelihood, Thilo granted permission for the conference to publish 
the address in the fineprint of the exhibitor contractual terms.
4) If it was Thilo's *office* address, it's likely even public information from 
the trade register.

I don't see aything above.

"Who" implies that it was a **question**. If someone committed "doxxing" under 
either of the generally accepted definitions, that's whoever **answered** that 
it was Thilo.

Again, you were a member of the CC and I was not at the time, so whatever. I 
doubt that the other members of the CC at the time will appreciate those 
comments though.

The current CC has no authority over stuff that was handled by a previous CC. A 
contrario, the current CC already took actions publicly against Kieran in other 
matters earlier *this* year.
