Thanks. But like your private profile, that doesn’t prevent someone clicking on a name and seeing how many comments have been made and how many upvotes there are.

Your name is in blue but Of&h’s is in grey and non interactive – do you know how he did that?

In reply to Daphne Caruana Galizia. Please stop calling it "IP number". It's an IP address.

No, you’re not wrong. Some IPs are registered to a named network, though – banks, for example, or the government’s IT provider.

I think you missed the bit where he wrote that he identified him via his Helen O’Grady email address.

Yes, he got it from Disqus. I’ve just explained that Disqus is an external system for comments, to which site moderators have access.
