We're not necessarily talking about spam. That's not the only reason
people use anonymity. Posting (on-topic) opinions with which some
people have violent disagreements is another. While that may not happen
here, it is not unheard of on the rest of the net.

What, we don't have violent discussions on taildraggers vs trikes? Damn
political correctness strikes again...

I still think that one should be willing to be held accountable for their
actions... If a person crossposts some totally off-topic bull**** across a
bunch of newsgroups and I can determine how they're posting it (either their
ISP or via Google Groups), I'll report it to the appropiate abuse
department... If they're not crossposting, I'm probably a bit more tolerant,
especially if they aren't using an anonymous remailer... I figure that if
they are willing to stake the possibility of losing their ISP on their
comments, I'll cut them a little slack, no matter how braindead their post
might happen to be...
