    Is there a word for people who try identify people on an internet forum. Tell everyone their real names when the person is obviously using a pseudo name?

    I think this is really bad karma - anyone else?

    I've only identified one so far, and that was without trying. Trouble is, he's my ex-boss.

    course not, his real name's Andy Dufresne. Went to prison for murdering his wife I belief and likes to play with his rocks.

    I've found several of my mates on here before, I usually like to send them a cryptic PM when I recognise them but wouldn't post their real name in thread.

    You can trust nobody.
    You'd think senior Vatican officials could be trusted,but the minute I went out on the balcony to give my Blessing they were at my PC trying to see what I'd written in the Conspiracies theories Forum.

    That's all I want to say to you.
    Their innocence will pull me through.
    They're meaningless and all that's true.
