And yet you're unwilling to indiscriminately broadcast the info here

I’ve had my license plate run before, it’s been broadcast over the county radio system, and I couldn’t care less.

I’ve also had my name in the newspaper, again I don’t really care.

I’d be more than happy telling random people offline my license plate number, because I don’t care.

In fact, I myself have said my license plate number over an open radio frequency.

But you’re essentially asking me to dox myself and remove my online anonymity, which is a major difference. It’s not comparable to having the info randomly said over an open radio, it just isn’t.

You know what else I would do over a radio, but not here? Announce my name. Mention the city I live in. Say my address. All specifically because I’m using this username.

Now, if this was legitimately anonymous, impossible to trace, a username not connected to me? Fuck yeah, I’d say my license plate. Because it would be meaningless. A drop in the bucket of millions of license plates. But you’re asking me to connect my identities.

Even if you don't seem to knowingly recognize the difference between the info being public in some form and broadcasting it indiscriminately to anyone wanting to listen, you don't want to share it here because you know it's different.

The difference you’re talking about is all down to level of effort. On one hand I can listen to a radio, on the other I submit a form online (and get a hell of a lot more detail.)
