Hmmm. You know how people claim that anonymity is the reason people act shitty on the internet? It seems to me what they fail to mention is &quot;If they weren&#x27;t anonymous, we would be free to attack them - that would shut them up&quot;.<p>I&#x27;m not so sure everyone would shut up. Some people are bold wrt their opinions. We might even create more such people..<p>Then people would eventually ignore the mere <i>threat</i> of repercussions. Now, we&#x27;d actually have to attack them, to make the repercussions real - and this is where it starts...
