I don't know what response MDawg could have expected other than this, and I think this is overall on the mild end of inevitable responses.

I have never understood the fairy tale in people's minds regarding their online anonymity. And I have never understood the way people mouth off to other people online, as if there will never be real world consequences, like it's all some isolated video game cordoned off from your family and friends and public persona.

Guess what? You're anonymous as long as nobody cares about your anonymity. As soon as you motivate somebody to care, it's just a matter of time. My late wife's brother-in-law was a private investigator. My nephew's major is Digital Forensics. If you think you can maintain anonymity versus somebody out to out you, you better be Lex fucking Luthor.

Which leads to my second observation. Everybody thinks they can prattle on and say whatever they want and nobody is going to blow up your vehicle a week later.

Online privacy and real-world bulletproof-ness are illusions, folks.
