Who exactly do you mean by "I"? Preferably with an exact address, just so we know you're serious about it.

I don’t see you using your real name here. A bit hypocritical if you ask me.

> I’m fine with that. When done correctly, and someone's ID remains anonymous from the general public if they wish so, then I'd also be fine with that. Way too many trolls and other forms of bad actors on the Web who intentionally or unintentionally use ad hominems or other toxic communication, it's so hopelessly divisive and draining. I recently saw a documentary about looksmaxxing. The forums these kids peruse echo the deepest pits of hell; insisting on suicide and all the forms of psychological bullying one cannot even imagine. Whether it's the best solution I don't know, it's probably not. But from my point of view, taking away the anonymity from the authorities would significantly lower the amount of depravity on the Web. The crux in this whole matter is of course that the authorities are virtuous, fair, just. If they are not, which all too often is the case, then removing anonymity can be an equally dangerous thing as well. Obviously everything boils down to education, which needs a complete overhaul. But that's something that will take decades if not a century to turn humanity into a predominantly virtuous species.
