True. I remember being taken for a fool for years by a person (2001-2008 or so) pretending to be a friend on Findlaw on his regular identity while ruthlessly attacking me with hundreds of anonymous identities at the same time. TOTV is really good at stopping personal attacks but there are web-sites still out there like Topix where it seems you can pretend to be many other identities.
The troll did brag about taking me for a ride so to speak around 2004, so I finally knew who seemed to hate me so much because of the hundreds of personal attacks on me using many different aliases. He still continued his relentless smear campaign but I at least knew who he was.
Ask people to document whatever they say and then Google the #$&^ out of these documents.
If meeting a stranger from TOTV or elsewhere I would also do this in a public place especially if this person has very few posts on TOTV. Us 1000 plus posters should be fairly easy to identify, Google, investigate, arrest, or whatever.
There are also people pretending to be other people on Facebook. If that is the only post on their Timelines, walk away until they get quite a bit more. They are probably some kind of scammers.
