afaic, 99% of the people you meet in meat space don't read very much, let alone go through archives of anonymous forums. Internet trolls, on the other hand..

The percentage of people in meatspace who would throw an email handle into Google is rather large.

A Google search for his username has his LW account as the third hit (after the two Wikipedia hits).

Google searches aren't ideal for this sort of thing, because your google results are tailored to you personally. Using DuckDuckGo, which shows the same search results to everyone, is probably a bit more reliable for these purposes (although in this case it gets the same results).

Not in my case. I take countermeasures to Google tracking.
