Aloha Katebat,
I appreciate your comment but I respectfully disagree.  In fact I believe you have it exactly the opposite way around.  The principal reason many commenters remain anonymous is so that they can safely get away with trolling and otherwise behaving in ways that are uncivil, without fear of repercussion.  It is obvious to me that when people comment in their own name, rather than hiding behind some screen name, they tend to behave with greater respect towards others.  Let me clear: I am not saying that all those who hide their true identity behave badly and I am not making a specific accusation against you.  But I believe it is true of many.  So I think those who believe in having an honest and civil discourse have a responsibility to do so openly; to set an example.  The democratic fabric of our nation is currently being rent by anonymous fake news stories and by people screaming hatefully at each other instead of engaging in a true civil debate.
