Lastly, the idea doxxing somebody by IP is fucking ridiculous.
To be fair, so is a double X in doxing.
(Not a critique of your post, which I upvoted, Gator...nobody cares that much about letters, I get it...I just like pointing out weird inconsistencies I guess :)
When vowels are separated by only one consonant, it typically makes the first vowel long. Most of the time when you see a double consonant, it's to keep the first vowel short. Doxxing needs a double X.

Outfoxes, outfoxing...outfoxed :)
Nary a double X to be found
I dunno, it's an X thing
No one's ever been able to show why doxing would need two X's but none of the other words do...I'm open minded but skeptical
I had no idea about this eXception. TIL. Thank you.
Cheers
what if we just rename it to Dawcksing?
