Pipe dream, but my point is trollers are too gutless to do this to anyone's face.

It's not a pipe dream, at another site I used to moderate we made it a habit of getting as much info on a problem member as possible. It came in handy when one kid came posting a load of suicidal ramblings. A quick email to his mother's Facebook and we didn't see him for months, when he returned post-counseling. Also had his home address, and phone number, but an email sufficed.
Another fellow who was harassing a cousin of mine over Facebook got an email, asking if his home address seemed familiar. He quickly backed off, and apologized for causing trouble.
The internet is never as anonymous as one may think. It is an interesting place...
