No, they don't. This isn't a court of law, _HN_ certainly isn't the cretin-pit that 4chan is, and it fits well within 4chan's broader reputation as a magnet for ill-adjusted harassers to do something as stupid as this.
No one here is going to try to stab a 4channer, or dox a poster, or move for legislation by making the valid assumption that assholes on the Internet stalked a guy for a really stupid reason.
