Yes indeed, but then isn't it w*****ish to attack people but hide your identity? Absolutely spineless excuse for a human.
I had a similar one recently, where the person being attacked more or less guessed who it was doing it. The coward who attacked him told me that if I confirmed to the person who his verbal attacker was, I would be putting him at risk of real danger.
I suggested he put himself at risk of real danger by doing it in the first place.
