As for outcomes, I'm very much a bit player/spectator in this drama, nobody's going to be "taking them down" over DDOSing an obscure nerd blog.

If they do go down, it'll be the FBI or equivalent, and it will be publicly justified as some combination of "protecting the children" (cf. WAAD) and/or copyright violations.

Thanks, I must have missed this.

Yes, this is exactly what I fear. That we might be playing into the hands of the greater evil by escalating a small, personal conflict.

it is not a small personal conflict, it is two years of non-stop escalation, gyrovague not only wrote the doxx, he is obsessively pushes it to the media:

2023: https://boingboing.net/2023/08/05/the-internets-other-archiv...

2024: https://gigazine.net/gsc_news/en/20240326-archive-today/

2025: the FBI story on many news sites

all these media articles are about gyrovague, archive doxx here is only fuel to promote gyrovague's blog

it must be stopped somehow
