Did you know the reason Trump Trolls and Right Wingers get so upset about anonymous posts is because it prevents them from Doxing the poster?

"Where am you? So we can threaten you!"
Doxing, or doxxing (from "dox", abbreviation of documents), is the Internet-based practice of researching and publicly broadcasting private or identifying information (especially personally identifying information) about an individual or organization. The methods employed to acquire this information include searching publicly available databases and social media websites (like Facebook), hacking, and social engineering. It is closely related to Internet vigilantism and hacktivism. Doxing may be carried out for various reasons, including inflicting harm, harassment, online shaming, extortion, coercion, business analysis, risk analytics, aiding law enforcement or vigilante versions of justice.
The insecurity and low self worth of Trump Trolls and extreme right wing fanatics make this a favorite weapon to target those who threaten their fragile world view. Anonymous posting frustrates their doxing attempts further enraging them. Not finding outlet of a target, it raises their blood pressure and may lead to them experiencing a stroke or cardiac arrest (God willing!).
