Alternatively, what if nobody was anonymous? As in everyone had to use real names, credentials, and addresses, certified by some third party and hardware token?



Not this site specifically but in general.
There are pros and cons to everything. I liked the Internet better when you could be 100% anonymous. It young, wild, and free. I actually got kicked off of Facebook because I refused to use my real name. It's not that hard to figure out who I am, but I just don't like my real name easily tied to every little comment I ever make. Nor people digging for shit to use fallacies against me. Of course the downside is you get the spammers, trolls, outright hate speech, etc... but whatever grow a pair and have good ways to moderate. I prefer the freedom over security.
