In principle there is nothing wrong with checking the truth of what forum members claim to be, or to have done. At least I don't regard it as doxxing. One has to be careful about what forum members claim to be and to have done, though. So, Nevets, let's have a look at what Thomas Eshuis claims to be and to have done, shall we? OK, here we go:Thomas Eshuis wrote:I've a bachelors degree in history, am finishing my Masters and have already taught for three years.
Do you see anything about him claiming to be, or have been, a lecturer at Groningen University? Me neither. All I see is that he has completed a bachelors degree in history, is in the process of finishing is Masters and has already taught for three years. Now, it is not uncommon at all for postgraduates to teach as tutors at universities they are studying for a postgraduate degree. It's usually a part-time job and tutors are rarely, if ever, listed among staff. What is more, Thomas Eshuis has not even claimed to have taught at the university he is a member of as a postgraduate student. He could be teaching independently, which would keep him completely off the books. In Germany a lot of postgraduate students do that. They are known as Privatdozenten. There could well be a similar tradition in the Netherlands.
I think you ought to begin to learn to read what is written sometime soon.
He wrote in one of the threads, in a reply to Speirthrower, that he was a historian from a university in Holland.
And he is also "illegally" claiming this online. People can contact him over research gate, thinking they are getting advice from an actual Historian from Groningen university. Money could also change hands, whos to say

But if he wants a job in the education system, he would be best advised to adopt an actual real Pseudonym for his escapist role playing games. Because whilst his behaviour might be accepted on here. It certainly will not be in real life.
He better learn quick and reflect on who is giving him the soundest advice here.
You, or me.
It is hardly someone who misrepresents what Thomas has written and jumps to false conclusions. Thomas Eshuis has never claimed to be a lecturer. At ResearchGate he only claims to be a member of University of Groningen's Department of History. As a postgraduate currently studying for his masters degree, he is a bona fide member of that university, that university's department of history and a historian. I already explained to you how he can be teaching history for three years without appearing on the department's staff list. He is not misrepresenting himself. You are misrepresenting him. You, Nevets, are skating on thin ice.
