The original post is deleted, but you can see the request for name and address in this one....

About halfway down the page for my main response.
Being a Hack is one thing, posting demands that could put peoples' lives at risk is something entirely different, and I refuse to tolerate it.

Well, in essence, Livejournal has an automatic Email on reply feature that lets you know when theres a new post on a thread you created. Jack didn't know how to turn this off and so kept getting Emails everytime someone replied to one of his posts, and since he tends to only post insults, he gets lots of replies.
Jack decided to claim that this was, under the Internet nuisance law (which is designed around the Internet Phone service) anonymous harassment and that anyone who didn't post their full name, address and telephone number on Gamepolitics was going to get arrested for it.
Fortunately, most of the people there are smart enough to not do that, but it would have only taken one kid who was too naive or too worked up to know better....

I'll post my address for him, sure.
If I start getting harassed, I point at him. If he shows up...well, I have a gun.

Post the address of the local crackhouse. Wait for him to turn up in a suit carrying a briefcase....
