A message on Mr Smith's Facebook page stated that he and his "special forces bodyguards" had tracked forum user "Harry" down to an address in Perth.
"We have already tracked Harry down to an address in Perth and guess what? He ... has a problem with me... Guess what c***? We will be paying you a visit and my friends are very very good at what they do."

"I am going to sue HotCopper because of the clear and blatant disregard for their own posting rules and major breaches of ASIC regulations in regards to the incredible personal attacks on me. They might as well just have a posting thread of 'I hate Ross Smith'," he said.
Mr Smith claimed an individual at HotCopper "has a vendetta against me and was behind an orchestrated campaign of defamatory remarks against myself and of misleading information against Phytotech".
Mr Smith said he was taking legal advice and would be "coming after everyone associated with HotCopper and the posts".
The experience meant it was unlikely he would take a directorship with another public company, Mr Smith said.
"These trolls from HotCopper seem to operate with impunity, with ASIC simply sitting back allowing it to happen."
