Most of the 'anonymity' of the internet is really just 'I don't live anywhere near any of these people, so I can stop associating with them if I want to'.
Hell, even if I *did* live next door to someone that I got sick of online (or vice versa), it's not like we're likely to ever meet offline unless we make an effort.
All the time you see stalkers posting, "Look! Here's this person's real name and address! Ha ha ha!" and I'm like, so what? Am I going to drive 200 miles to harass them? Are you? Not likely.
