 Probably the most realistic view is that identity and other politics disputes are inevitable and normal and part of language and linguistic relationships, but they have to be contained using some methods such as '''different levels of identification''' ranging from [[anonymous]] users to normal users to verified users.
-It is not good to let trolls totally escape all accountability and it is also not good to let [[outing|outing problems]] determine who participates in the [[Wikis]]. A troll's anonymity is approximately equal to a random stranger on the street.
+It is not good to let trolls totally escape all accountability and it is also not good to let [[outing|outing problems]] determine who participates in the [[Wikis]]. A troll's anonymity is approximately equal to a random stranger on the street, and a troll's risk of [[w:immediate pursuit|immediate pursuit]] is similar also: there may be valid reasons to believe that edits under one [[IP address]] made to several [[large public wiki]]s in short succession are the same person, (e.g. to this page but also to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Immediate_pursuit&action=history the Wikipedia page on immediate pursuit]); temporary actions might be taken on the basis of such conclusions.  However, those with lasting impact on anyone's [[repute]] would be extremely unwise to undertake on such shallow evidence. This is quite similar assumptions made on the basis of reports that "the suspect was black" or other profiling.
-People who have no principles and accordingly spell principle "principal" as if they [[authoritarianism|still obeying authority in school]] assert that the "principal of [[w:immediate pursuit|immediate pursuit]] applies."  This is doubtful, as "immediate pursuit is a legal principle describing rules of engagement to enter into combat with or forceably detain another."  This has to do with [[body]] relations, not any kind of talk or interchanges of text.
-However, there may be some valid reasons to believe that edits under one [[IP address]] made to several [[large public wiki]]s in short succession might be the same person, e.g. to this page but also to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Immediate_pursuit&action=history the Wikipedia page on immediate pursuit];  Temporary actions might be taken on the basis of such conclusions.  However, those with lasting impact on anyone's [[repute]] would be extremely unwise to undertake on such shallow evidence.
 It could however be a deliberate [[alleged and collective identity]] tactic to trick [[sysop power structure]] into doing something very foolish.
