I don't think Wrighty has anything to worry about!
I think they could if they wanted to.

For an example look that the guy on twitter arrested for the comments he made about Fabrice Muamba.

For your literature answer, 0 points. The comment I am led to believe was apparently accredited to Mark Twain.

You could well be right, but still hits the mark, I sometimes get mixed up with Mark and Bill, but they both hit the nail on the head on numerous occasions and the quote is very apt no matter who coined it

If you put your name and address and blatantly said "I refuse to pay my TV licence!" I don't think they will track you off a nick name!

In that case you wouldn't post Jaysay!

You call me an idiot but how many threads you started have got over 20,000 views???

How do you define 'wise'? Is it someone who shares similar views?

I think that if someone in authority really wanted to find out who was behind the nickname they would find out....and probably without too much trouble/effort.

If you search the internet you will find that the police need a court order to obtain the IP address of a forum/twitter/facebook/etc poster.
The police then request details about who used that IP address at that time/date from the ISP. They may not even need a court order to get the details from the ISP. Depending on the offence this could be enough evidence for a search warrant and seizure of the offending persons PC/phone equipment for forensic investigation.

Yes Neil, it isn't a great hassle for the police to do this if they feel that the law has been broken.....and we have recently seen evidence of this with the Liam Stacey/ Fabrice Muamba situation.....and there is another one reported in the newspaper today....Noel Edmonds tracked down a Student who had started a facebook page which incited violence against him(Noel Edmonds).
It just doesn't do to suggest to others who are abiding by the law of the land, to break that law.
Wrighty was telling us he didn't have a TV licence, and saying that anyone who had, was 'stupid'.......so he is inciting the breaking of the law.

ha! ha! ha! ... See showing your ignorance mate - there are several people who did not slag me off like you, Less, Garinda and Cashman did - people who agreed with me and who were intimidated by Garinda and others. Tommiasfc also used the word "Accrington Mafia!" so it seems there are bunch of people like you who jump on every thread and intimidate people with different views!

No your totally wrong, we jump on people who have utter stupid ideas, which insidentally fits you to a tee, there's an old saying if you can't stand the heat keep out the kitchen, might be good advice for you, and I don't need a wall to hide behind

Rubbish - in the old days before the internet people would not speak to people like they do here and on the Internet, in pubs there would have been a lot more fights. The thing with the Internet is people can say what they want with no instant comeback, so people like Garinda can be vindictive and get a way with it - they would not do that in a pub or club!

You say "We" yes that is you and the people who agree with you who you have probably met in the pub over the years and have some agreement. The majority are not always right in numbers! ALSO YOU DON'T LISTEN TO OPPOSITE ARGUMENTS!
