People use the internet, and everything you put out there can come back to bite you in the ass.
Real-world example: A friend and I used to have to "clear" his apartment, and stay up every night until five or so in the morning with whatever firearms we had at our disposal because some kid who fancied himself a gang-banger decided to A) Find out where my friend lived through mutual contacts (sort of... think "six degrees") and B) Threaten to end his life, through contact with his sister.
Long run-on sentences aside, the point is pretty simple... the internet isn't a magical shield that's going to keep you from harm. Especially when you're a moronic, horny teenager (or like to make fun of drug dealers, apparently).
