It's not unfounded - look at what happened when a few blues posted their real names on the forums.
Within hours their personal information and the personal information about these spouses and family had been posted. Their home address. Their mothers' home address. Their telephone numbers. Their social networking profiles.
They had to delete their Myspace & Facebook profiles and one had to disconnect his phone as he was getting obscene phonecalls. I also hear some clown kept ordering pizzas to be sent to his address.
