You get my name on the internet on a forum. The guy in California will get my name in real life to stalk me? Will he jsut pick up his shit and come over here and ask me for my name? Or maybe he will use the human telephone thing? Maybe a little birdie told him?


If he is in California then how is he stalking you? Do you really believe you are so important that someone will spend thousands of dollars to track you down? This is one of the paranoid, and unrealistic scenarios I referenced above. You are much more likely to meet someone face to face who will stalk you then anyone on the internet even accounting for the increased contact.

That's exactly the point. He can get my name right there without putting any effort into it. If he was in the ass end of nowhere it would be much harder for him to even begin getting my information, than if he got it  through some forum online. He get's it puts it in Maltego and voila. Otherwise if he really wanted to do something, he'd have to put the resources into finding out who I was, which is harder to gather online than you might think, unless he has access to the ip Addresses, which he doesn't through a forum.
