Makes me think maybe there's some embellishment going on...or maybe the facts aren't 100% as portrayed in the original post.
I'm not 100% sure what really happened here...I'm not buying the story that the hotel would somehow read this thread, figure out who the guest was, and somehow make their life hard later.
I think it's far more easier (for the property) to discover the ID of the OP if the property is named than you realise.
How many similarly open cases would there be at any one time?
Whether they take it out on the OP is another story.
Same reason why I do not complain about food while I still intend to have dinner at a restaurant. If you make an issue at a restaurant, you might want to consider not completing the meal.
While the management would never (I hope) consider taking it out on a guest on their premise, this feeling may not be shared amongst the front line staff such as the cooks or the housekeepers.
