I think that there are many, many dangers from having anonymous posters on the Internet. Among the least of them is that there are many posters from other countries that post on US politics. In the last Presidential election perhaps as many as HALF of all posters were not Americans but were posting from a phone bank in India. In other cases we have the crazy people who are willing to tell us things like Las Vegas shooting never occurred or the earth is flat.
So I subscribe to the idea that EVERY posting anywhere on the Internet be accompanied by the real name of the poster and his true address. Do you want to post on American politics? That's fine but if you are identified as North Korean we know what sort of biases you have.
If you want to post that the Earth is flat your employer should be able to see that and assign your job duties in accordance to your intellectual achievements. If you are identified and continue to turn up on every single conspiracy debate everyone should be able to see who it is and soon know what their ideas and opinions are worth.

Ah. 2 new ones. First we were the Paris and Las Vegas "shooters", then we were child molesters, then we deserved to be killed by cops, then we deserved to get raped in prison, now were totalitarian racists? All because we have a different opinion than you.
@Erfisflat He's insane, he really needs help. He not only believes all of this but he will also change his position completely if either Me, You or Evidence have it too.

I personally believe in their right to defend their opinion however you and I dont agree with it. I believe that the earth is round, but will not engage in an indepth debate about that topic. I also think that site administrator addressed that particular conflict between you guys.
Saying that anonymous postings are not allowable is a hugh violation of freedom of speech and wouldn't want the government to have that much control. You are right though that younger generation is too easily influenced by what they read online and fake news is a hugh problem. I also agree with you that some back and forth ad hominem attacks on both sides at this point would tone down.
