Other than that info, he's lying his cocky bitch teeth.
There are some forums and websites that have anonymizers (a proxy link between links), but most don't (I don't think cK does either).
It's not possible to find any info off an IP unless he hacks a forum's DB, or is suave enough to hack the ISP's servers (which is a serious crime). If he could hack a forum DB, then he could probably draw your email and any personal info you truthfully registered with. But that's a rarity.
I'd say his best method would be to Google some smidgen of info he's got (like an email, name, etc.), then try to creep with that.
An IP does very little, all it does is tell them your city/country and ISP itself. It is not bound to you in any way (other than what the ISP knows) and is tangible as changing shoes. You can always request or reset your IP with a call to your ISP, instantly.
Don't think too much of it is what I'm saying. Or call that guy a t00l.
