So I don't know anon's story specifically, but I think I remember the incident they're talking about. Some years back, Ice was in the middle of a dom battle (I think it was against Plague) when one of the dom leaders made a post about some rule changes. They were going to throw out the tickets to their in flight raffle of people they saw flipping dragons on the AH.

Keep in mind, this was in like 2015, before it got overhauled, so there was no way to buy or sell exclusively by flight on the AH. Every dragon listed was bought and sold publicly. The only way to check if someone was even in your flight was to manually look up their name in search. Yet someone in the dom team apparently thought it was worth going to that kind of trouble in the middle of a battle just in case some contributors to their raffle were also flipping fodder on the side.

The worst part was that when they pinged the list to announce this rule change, there was a newbie on there who had never been in the Ice flight forums. They had been flipping fodder though, which made people think the post was targeted at them. It was a mess. I don't think it was ever established who added that newbie's name to the pings, but with how pointlessly mean the rule change was in the first place, many suspected it was someone on the dom team. If so, that might explain why anon was harassed by a dom person. Could have been the exact same person.
