SRS has always had a few too many "true believers" who see absolutely nothing wrong with ruining people's lives over something said on the internet. Oftentimes they don't even see the disconnect:

"punching up" violent commentary is fine?

It isn't "fine". It's just something that is better to ignore. It's clearly ridiculous and crazy, but it's not a real threat.

but just before this..

Have their lives uprooted? No.

And that's a result of 'hate mobs' - not doxxing - anyway.

Have their employment options limited? Fuck yes.

This is not acceptible public behavior.

doxxing is a "hate mob". In SRSes case it's always a group of users playing judge and jury, then contacting employers, family members, etc.

That's absolutely a real threat and uproots people's lives. It's also the reason everyone is so paranoid about their personal info on reddit.
