It's kinda not though

Pseudo Anonymity is sort of a key feature of IRC that I think acts like a strong filter for people

People who are jerks will use anonymity to be jerks whereas when they are forced to tie an account to their identity they might pretend to be not jerks

People who are kind when anonymous are likely just good people at their core
