alt Hacker NewsOne side publishes words, the other DDoSes. One side could just ignore the other and go about their business, the other cannot. One is using force, which naturally leads to resistance and additional attention, the other is not.
Both sides look like they have been bullied in the past and not found their way out of reproducing the pattern yet.

Words can have bad consequences. We‘ll see what will happen to Banksy after Reuters published words.
SF, DS, KF all only publish words. Presidents use words to direct planes to drop bombs on schools full of little girls.
It's deliberately obtuse to suggest that "words" aren't a big deal.

I'd say attempting to dox someone and then spreading that information is deploying far more significant force than a minor lazy DDoS attack.
Doxing or attempting to dox someone is effectively threatening them with physical violence. A DDoS is nothing at all in comparison.
