if the person creating this fake profile hadn't used this guy's e-mail address, this guy probably would have never known his home address was being given out. seems like in this case, not having to verify the e-mail address was beneficial to this guy so i'm not sure why he's so angry that no e-mail verification was needed. though, what does he expect to do with the ip address from okcupid? contact the isp and ask for a home address? i can pretty much guarantee that the isp won't give out any information without a subpoena, or at the very least, a formal request coming from a proper law-enforcement agency. if he wants to do anything other than go beat up the guy that posted his information, he should contact the police, have them subpoena okcupid for the ip address and timestamp information, which they will have to provide in the subpoena to the isp.
