I've been a long-time lurker and had a previous account back in 2019/20, and decided to rejoin after hearing Marquis and Serge got doxxed, which pissed me off tremendously.
This forum is so full of passion and angst that there have always been different personalities, cliques, whatever clashing with each other. I recall reading similar accusations of hidden agents and malevolent users back in 2019, at times being thrown against each other. One of the reasons Marquis was such a good admin was that he was quite capable of steering the forum away from such drama.
Another point: I assume most of us know that this forum is generally not a safe space for passing personal information. There are, in fact, swindlers looking to rip people off, perverts contacting women, plenty of fakers, etc.... Caution is advised.
