Ah the internet, makes having faith in humanity tough.

In the online world it is hard to hold folks accountable for their acts and words, since they can hide behind fairly-anonymous screen names. It is also hard to protect one's privacy in the digital world. This comment would be more insightful if I got the gist of the post. What are your recommendations for solutions? Posting moderation?
