True, but if you know a name and address, you can usually scare the hell
out of a person..
I found a newbie on IRC whose real name was stored in their whois info and
was getting obnoxious. There were no chanops handy to remove this guy, so
when regular channel participants told him to act civilly, he asked if
they were going to come knocking on his door if he didn't.
I offered him a link to a map and driving directions to his front door.
It shut him up. ;)
