Many of us have been led to believe that those posters who were called silly internet names like Trolls - had first to be anonymous?

And that those who called other posters names like this - held the moral high-ground and were somehow allowed to indulge in this name-calling of other posters - because they were NOT anonymous.

It is a fact that anonymous posting has hardly been generally popular in the past history of our forum - has it?

Why would anonymous posting (and general name-calling) be thought to be any more acceptable now?
