While I do agree with John Gabriel's Greater Internet F(Online Disinhibition)wad Theory and think removing anonymity would cut down on trolls, I disagree for reasons I consider slightly more important.



Again, this worries me.




Or perhaps vandalizing their house and car, killing their cat, and making continued death threats against them?

I'm not sure where you're from, how old you are, or what your sense of history is.

I'm assuming you've never lived in a police state.

Anonymity is important. I'm sick of trolls too and I think Anonymous has overstepped its bounds, but if that's the only problem you see with the world then you're living in an ivory tower.

Take away anonymity and you take away the ability for people to disagree with you. If your only way to cope with people who disagree with you is to punch them in the face or set up secret police to monitor everyone in their homes, there are words for that....

Good thing I can just link a mule to the forums.
If your smart mouth wants it cake and to eat it too, then it should be prepared to face the ramifications of it's actions. There are too many people in this world that take advantage of being anonymous in a bad way

(also while we are at this point, you are making a cracking attempt at twisting my words around tonight, you really must have it in for me)

and as such have created a very uncomfortable environment for all to be a part of. If you believe in your words, and are true to them, then you have no worry as you aren't trolling, you are being truthful.

If your only function on internet forums is to bring displeasure to others through the need to post constant annoyances, then you should be prepared to get a slap in the face, because you deserve one. Enough times have I told people to their faces, (and I am not a giant muscular jock, im an average build, medium height guy with a little podge in my belly) that if you continue in this way, you might find yourself looking up at the sky with blood running out your nose, as you are being rude, and abnoxious, and you are old enough to be responsible for your own actions.

I am not saying violence is the counter for all of the internets problems, but if your only function is to be a troll, as the quoted poster fits into the role of, then you should be ready to accept a truck being dropped on you, because you are not worth anything more.

And yes, I would love to live in a police state, might get some of the more annoying people out there (ala you) out of my way
