Basically it seems to be giving away public information to expose someone on the the internet. So in this situation basically searching and making posts in order to expose someone who posts on an anonymous forum etc then hounding them maliciously for those posts.

As I said as a newish member here I worked out who they were all insulting and making unvalidated and wild and anonymous claims about after a few months. It’s not very nice really to bully one poster to that extent especially when they then give clues as to the identity of that poster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s apparently giving way enough information and handing out enough targeted abuse without actually naming anyone. I’d never have heard if it until Teapot mentioned it but it seems to fit the profile of this forum well from what I’ve seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been a few "I see TJ has said XYZ on Vader's facebook group..." that make joining the dots quite easy. Might have done it myself. TBH - in recent months I assumed you and Mr Newbie were either him or the angry guy (Boredom?), but now I check I see you've both been here since Sept / Oct and I just hadn't noticed you, so I guess not.

To be honest I never really had much to do with him. He was just another poster there was nothing that signal him out from The Sultan or Neil Down or WTF and the other hair trigger brigade.
