That is not possible, without rl relationship (willing or not), as one is fully anonymous in SL.

I'd hate to stir up the flame war more, but i have to correct you here. You are not fully anonymous in SL. A resident's payment info may not be on file at all times, but they can be tracked by IP. If they spoof their IP it's even worse for them since the FBI has ways of finding out the true IP and can just make a simple phone call to the resident's ISP and local authorities. In fact they might even pay the resident a visit. So anyone who thinks they can get away with terrorizing others in SL, and get away with it are truly only kidding themselves.

And heres my 2 cents about how real we are in SL. Every avatar you see in SL, might be a mix of pixels but their is a real person behind that avatar. To me it's about the same as emailing someone. They will receive the message, because your forcing it on them. Just like a message forum. If you constantly create topics to flame a individual, their gona see it and file it. Simply taking a snapshot with a chat log is enough evidence IMO. The logic i'm hearing from you about this sounds like your trying to say I'm not a real person because I'm just a name on a forum post somewhere on the internet.
