My view is that anonymity should always be allowed but that in certain instances people should have the ability to choose to interact in explicitly non-anonymous manner. That does mean with their full identity attached to their online avatar.

I don’t even remotely understand the problems. My real identity is attached to the ownership of my house and so far the government hasn’t put a bag over my head.

But yes, I realize that the tyranny of the anonymous will go on for longer than it really should due to extreme paranoia about the political other.
