Due to absolutely retarded drama bullshit on the part of an extremely immature person who knows my real name due to sending me Paypal money, they have threatened to post my IRL info in various places. I also have a pretty good idea of who they are in return (1 out of 4 families with the same name in their state), if it comes down to it. I'm not really worried, but if they do this to me, the gloves are coming off on my end, and I'd like to be advised of my legal options.

Sounds like you need to speak to an internet lawyer. I think SA keeps one on retainer. (There isn't poo poo you can do. Cut contact with this person and grow up.)

Doxx them first, obviously. Consult a lawyer if you want legal advice. No one on SA is going to be able to help you in meaningful sense.

This is serious OP. If a person knows your true name they could banish you into the Shadow Realm at any time.

Well if you're not an rear end in a top hat who hasn't done anything wrong it's not such a big deal is it? You didn't do anything at all, right, OP?

You can set up a google alert so that when your info is posted you can contact site admins ASAP to have it removed and tell your side of the story. It seems unlikely random Internet strangers will care about firebombing your home address if you aren't famous for blending kittens or something.

Legally change your name. Stuff like this is why I'm glad to have a generic name. This also automatically gives you meat shields against Terminators sent back in time.

I think a good person to contact to discuss legal options is..... are you ready? A lawyer. Otherwise, stop picking fights on the Internet. Why would someone who sent YOU money want to smear your name all over the place? Unless they paid for something they never got, anyway.

But what if both parties want to hire you? You'll have a conflict of interest and have to turn one of them down, letting that some of that sweet sweet Internet money get away. Plus, a lot of your clients will try to pay you in Bitcoin.

You can't just start with them. You have to make it feel like their world is collapsing around them. First, doxx their favorite gym. What's that, gym's closed due to doxxing? Hm, that's odd. Perhaps they'll then decide to stop by the supermarket for the makings of dinner instead. It's just too bad you already doxxed the supermarket; now nobody can buy granola. Starting to feel the heat closing in, they'll rush out to reach their kids before they, too, are doxxed. As they race across town, they'll see the collapsing ruins of businesses you've doxxed on their rush home to safety. They'll note smoke rising up from grandma's neighborhood; indeed, it will be too late for her. Not wanting to face this destruction, they'll move on. Finally, arriving home, all the firetrucks and ambulances will surround the property. Neighbors will be on their porches, hugging each other and quietly crying, while the Fire Chief approaches. "I'm sorry," he'll say. "Both of your kids have been doxxed." Oh, sure, they'll try to doxx you for revenge. But that's the beautiful part: People will think they've gone so crazy with loss and grief that they'd doxx just about anything. "Oh, that's just old George. Don't mind him; he'd doxx the wind if he could."

Parity warning posted:Doxx yourself first. They won't see that poo poo coming. From professional involvement with a case like this here in the UK I'd say this is the best advice on this thread. Apart from that there is little you can do now apart from watch the world around you crumble into a flaming abyss of nothingness

What the gently caress is doxxing? It sounds like the act of spending full time job levels of time on ruining someone's reputation, over the internet.

With a generic name, yeah, maybe you get shot by mistake, but if the Terminator shoots the other same-named people, you'll have some warning.

Is there a particular reason why you're worried about getting doxxed OP? It really seems more like the type of threat that only works against people who have something on the internet they really don't want connected to real life. I mean admittedly I don't agree with the "if you got nothing to hide" line of reasoning, but I don't think most people would go through the trouble of say, doxxing your average forum goer. No one would care.

Wow, OP, I guess you're not safe anymore now that a complete stranger knows your name. If they choose to reveal it you'll have to go by a new name, move to a new town, completely change your life, and never use the internet again. Grow up and stop taking the internet so seriously, OP.

Doxxing or whatever never usually picks up traction. You only ever see it work in the absolute extreme cases, like when you have a million nerds get angry over a farmer killing some animals on video while masturbating or something. If they just post your personal details somewhere, you may get one or two messages, but I doubt anyone would actually care enough to do anything unless you said ponies are bad or whatever. But yeah, contact a lawyer, get them sued for defamation/badgering/harassment or whatever.

While this sounds very likely, if Paypal or whatever service doesn't care enough to back up the other guy's story, then nobody in the public is going to care either. I mean, unless the OP is trying to run a legit service where he takes money from people and then gives them less/none of what was promised in return. But if that's the case, then the rest of us are better off knowing he's scamming people and/or an unreliable supplier. OP, I'm not seeing a downside here. If you're legit then he is giving you free advertisement. If you're stealing money, then screw you. If he thinks you are stealing money but you are not, then your other transactions should provide enough cover to nullify his bad report. And finally, if you aren't trying to sell things online, then seriously who is going to care at all about your name? Is he also releasing your SSN and bank accounts? Sounds like no, so just grow up and move on.
