Well of course the theory is that you can hide behind your computer screen and
piss whomever you like off feeling safe that your handle/fake email ect will
prevent them from knowing whom you are.  But some ppl will actually go to
great lenghts to  stop you. (Most of these ppl arn't too normal :) ). For
example, a boy in Maine recently pissed someone off ion the internet and a few
days latter, a mail bomb was sent to his house and blew up and killed him and
injured his mother. The sender was someone he pissed off from the
Internet. (Fortunately they caught him). But my point is that hiding behind a
screen never protects you.
