Tracking ips isn't that big a deal really. They can't normally be traced to anything useful. These days anyone on the nnet should have a firewall and some sort of security. IPs are almost always dynamic, and many, most devices are probably behind some sort of router that's doing NAT. If someone like a LE agency wants to track something down, they can request (I assume by court order) login and/or MAC address info from the service provider.

Yeah, if someone really wanted to be a dick, they could probably attack someone based upon the ip if the work soon after a post.
