Why is everyone so scared that people know their real names and what people look like? Do you all not use Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or meet up in person?

I've seen internet messageboard rage hit some high levels over the years and while I don't expect anyone would cross that line here (not to say it hasn't happened in the past), I do suspect one or two posters could/would.
Handing out my address to a bunch of strangers doesn't seem like a good idea.
I really could not foresee anyone on here doing anything shady with people's addresses.
oh yeah, i post on a message board where a group of posters take it upon themselves to 'next' people, going as far to post google map images of their houses, real names, etc. A few of them have even tracked down their place of employment and called their work….all pretty fucked up and creepy. although in once case, it was appropriate (he was taking hidden photos of women that would come into his work (toys r us) and posting them on said messageboard).

Yup… I've seen people lose jobs and other pretty fucked up shit happen due to internet life.

But he really liked the restaurant, so he tried to get her fired by calling all the time while she was working. But the manager got wind of the plot and banned him instead. Street justice.Got wrote:

What is the worse thing that could happen? You are raped and tortured for 10 years before finally being burned alive. Isn't that chance worth taking as you will get a lovely thoughtful gift? I think whomever gets you should buy you a subscription a streaming service.

You certainly don't need to participate, but because you are worried that Julian or someone else is going to use your skull as a bowling ball is a little tinfoil hat crazy

That is just what someone who planned to use our head for a bowling ball would say.
