I think there can be other valid perspectives than your own.

I don't think people would be concerned about that explanation either... I think they need to hear real-world consequences, of which the only one I can remotely think of would be identity theft, and the chances of that happening I think are still slim among all the people whose info has even already been exposed publicly.

How does privacy enable one to "not know your deepest thoughts" if you're aren't giving that information out in the first place?

Legitimate question, is there any concrete evidence that the majority of the public actually does want this?

For what it's worth, Micay has a long history of accusing other people of slandering the project without providing any evidence or rebuttals.

When asked for details, he gets defensive and accusatory, then creates multiple sockpuppet accounts to argue the same points over and over.
