    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.

    "Doxing" means finding out personal information about people and posting it online.

    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.
