Why on either should u separate the real u and the "online" you both have very real world consequences. A girl killed herself becausee of this mentality thr online u will get caught and found. It scares me that people don't think doing stuff on the internet does not have very real consequences. Last thing I'm going to say on this topic it's pissing me off to much Ah shoot, I guess I missed you... Anyways, anonymity is important in some cases though steadyhand. How about the investigators or undercover agents who know there are people who are up to no good and want to stop them? Another example I remember VERY well is from World of Warcraft. Blizzard decided it would be a good idea to make your real name appear on the forums. One member decided to post his real name just to demonstrate why it's a bad idea. 30 minutes later, it was edited because someone had found him and called him at his work. Thankfully the guy was a white or grey hat because he simply asked if the infomation he had found on the guy was all correct (full name, SSN, street address, spouse, children's names, schools, phone numbers, etc.). Of course, I think this guy knew the power of many of these hackers and was REALLY lucky to have been found by someone of a moral mindset. Make no mistake however, I do agree with you: there are some cases where anonymity should be revoked. Wait. Anonymous? Girl killing herself? One sec... http://www.dailydot.com/news/anonymous-kylie-suicide-trolls-bully/ Those afraid to open the link, it's actually an uplifting story. Anons actually decided the lulz would stop here and completely and utterly exposed the girl's attackers. Back on topic, steadyhand, I believe you and I as well as many on here would agree with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOIZXxB1nlI ^ Extra Credits, Season 6, Episode 11 - Toxicity As for what you said martinofski, I've done my share of trolling, admittedly, in response to many weak trolls and rancid whining and moaning. And just like you said: Not sure all the it really helps anything. So I'm going to be part of the solution instead of the problem: gotta stop the retaliation and just simply block those who are vitriolic.
