  “MercyFlush collects Free Republic IPs and then posts them to on his Blog”

  I collect RUSSIAN IP addresses and post them on my blog.

  JonPreston is only outraged because one of these IP addresses is likely his.

So that's who it was. The same handle that posted last year that it found a US-Russia nuclear exchange acceptable as long as Russia gets wiped off the map.

It is amusing to me, as the intimidation game is being played out within the context of the "officially" non-NATO war between two non-NATO nations, wherein NATO nations are fueling the fires at their great expense.

Information war is conducted in part by intimidation, and much of intimidation is posture pretending to be more than it is. I think "collecting of IP addresses" is so much pretense in the long run. Big data makes now-suspended "mercy flush" seem a piker and amateur.

If he has a "blog," then one may examine it. One such can be found, generally empty after 2017, and only a sort-of entertainment blog. I think his/her boast in anonymous BS. And course, the FR banned him.

Much bluster is presented as if real. I am skeptical. The greater activity seems to me to be the "squirrel!" types who try to deflect from very basic issues. Best wishes.
