    If someone were to dox OP—however slim those chances—OP has a comment history that’s visible, so possibly you can glean something of their interests, personality, personal life etc.

    if OP also uses the same username across multiple sites, with those comments visible, you can actually paint quite an accurate picture of a person (possibly enough to impersonate them?).

    Let’s say OP happens to have specific political views or other controversial opinions. Now all it takes is 1 person with OP’s exact address and another person to care enough, and wow, OP might be in danger? lol

    OP, you are well within your right to post this picture, maybe you have a very sanitised digital fingerprint and you have nothing to fear. But the person above the one I’m replying to is likely the kind of person to exercise more caution than OP.

    Both are fine, whatever.
