   These days if the nuts know your REAL identity but not your physical   
   location, they still can attack you online. But worse they also can go   
   after your family, friends, business, etc. That info in detail is often   
   available. Thanks Google. And even if there is no physical contact, the   
   online threats can be very uncomfortable...
