what the people doing this dont realize is that Gawker is set up on the UK tabloid model and that Nick Denton is an ex tabloid man and that gives him an in with old media - and boy do the newspaper types all stick together even the Posh broadsheets and the NUJ will close ranks and protect their scumier brothers.

say Nick passes on some choice examples of 4chan behavior or real world ID's to the Daily Mail or the News of the world (who seem to have the Met police in there back pocket).

You would not want to be a 4chan user outed on the front page of the Daily Mail they would learn what the quaint english tabloid custom of "Monstering" is like - being busted by the Security Service would be more pleasant.
