User blog comment:Timeoin/I'm back again, everyone/@comment-4074503-20110922121218/@comment-3456086-20110922174257

Example:


 * [Timeoin|sleepy] host: Timeoin@The.Guy.From.Wikia name: Timeoin
 * [Timeoin|sleepy] ~#TESWiki
 * [Timeoin|sleepy] server: *.xertion.org :Xertion
 * (end of /whois)

^ Without IRC operator abilities. Now say if I had IRC operator abilities (which users from Wikia will not have)

Example:


 * [Timeoin|sleepy] host: Timeoin@The.Guy.From.Wikia name: Timeoin
 * [Timeoin|sleepy] is connecting from Timeoin@isp.com.au 60..24.72.1
 * [Timeoin|sleepy] ~#TESWiki
 * [Timeoin|sleepy] is using modes +w
 * [Timeoin|sleepy] server: *.xertion.org :Xertion
 * (end of /whois)

Now for obvious reasons, the IP listed above for Timeoin is FAKE. If you do a DNS lookup on it, it will return nothing because the IP doesn't exist.

The point I'm saying is the people who need to know your IP know your IP. the animosity of hiding your IP is to other users who don't need to know. You're not understanding a thing I've said in previous posts, so I'm hoping this gives you a little more clarity.
