The posts came to light after CNN received a tip-off that CharlesXII was in fact Mr Neff. They were able to identify him by matching up content in his messages with publicly available information about him.
Regardless the content, I'm not to thrilled about that. He was posting anonymously on a small forum site.If someone is posting anonymously on a site, anyone who wants to hold you accountable for the content should have to prove that you were behind the posts.
If I started mixing in small mentions of personal information that matched that details of Ted Cruz, someone could easily stalk my post history and eventually figure out that I am him. Would that result in me getting booted from the senate over some memes I posted last year?
