It certainly doesn't seem as if you have the "opinion of many" at the present time, but the opinion of many here seems to be you've hit that slippery slope called libel. Too bad you've already shown your hand.

And this is selective outrage.

I don't care if it's a dem or a puke, it says "Sexual Misconduct".
Maybe you can cut and paste where it says "Rape"?!?!

If you spent more time reading the article and less time shooting off your mouth, you could cut and paste yourself.

He is way too stupid to handle that.
Rest assured there is no anonymity on the internet. I've tracked a couple of people to their front doorstep in the past and have no reservation about doing that again, should the need arise. You've brought back warm memories of how infuriated one poster, who thought they were anonymous, became when I posted a photo of the front of their house with the question, "Does anything look familiar"?
Oh, rest assured I was contacted by the police. I'll never forget the look on their faces when they asked if I knew anything about that post and I replied, "Yeah, I did it and I'll do it again, should the need arise". Then they wanted to know how I did it. I handed them several printouts of posts, to justify my activities, and my efforts to chase ghosts through wires. I never heard from the police again, at least for that episode. I'm just one of those people who think that was fun.

You do realize that what you just described is considered Cyberstalking under the law, not only are there criminal penalties for it, but considerable civil exposure as well. And I'll add, none of your reply here has any relevance to your previous legal notion of libeling an anonymous internet alias.
My reply was specifically to your post regarding anonymity. I'll somewhat agree with the relevance of the post, but it was in reply, specifically, to your belief in anonymity.
Oh, in the cases I had in mind when I posted my reply, the police were involved. I received either personal visits or direct communications by phone. My explanation and documentation, though confusing to them, satisfied their inquiries and resolved any issues straight away.
As far as cyberstalking, probably not. The act of looking up a person's address and then letting them know I know it is hardly stalking. At least the investigators with whom I spoke concerning such didn't think it amounted to a prosecutable action.

Sorry, thinking folks feel that virtually any site with "patriot" in its name is suspect. As someone said, "Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels." I believe it was Samuel Johnson. Add "angry" to the name and the site's crap nature is virtually guaranteed.
BTW, other posts here suggest that you are edging toward libel by suggesting that our Hogg member is the person cited in this crap site. How's your legal representation? Perhaps you should engage brain before starting mouth/keyboard? A novel idea, eh?

probably pretty hard to compete with the patriotism one finds in North Korea

I doubt that anyone but Trump would say that about a sitting president.

In that instance and in the opinion of that investigator it may not have been, but that's not to say another may see it differently. My wife, who is a lawyer BTW, after reading your post, assures me that hunting somebody down and intimidating in the manner you described, can and will lead to some considerable legal and civil peril.
As far as the anonymity thing goes, I never said a persons true ID couldn't be found, my wife's firm does it regularly, and they have some amazing PI's and Skip Tracers they work with. What I did say is that it's next to impossible to successfully sue somebody for libeling an anonymous alias, you need the continuity of identification for the defamation to stick.
