NOT GONNA GIVE YOU AN IMAGE, DON’T ASK

In a FTF conversation, there is a lot of rapid give-and-take. Even if I am disagreeing with someone, there is a sense that we have to agree to communicate in some sort of alternation. No one really gets the last word. Online, it's too easy to think "Aha, I can shoot *that* idiot's argument down with a comprehensive proof of his fallacies. And thus I will have the last word". Except I don't, because the presumed idiot can and will often respond in exactly the same mind set. The more this goes on, the more it inflames (pun intended) the subject's behaviour elsewhere. Even in a different context, they may be carrying the same "chip" and immediately inject that energy into a new conversation.
Anonymity is what makes the web both wonderful and dangerous at the same time. Anonymity allows freedom of speech to those who's human rights are normally controlled. On another level we are also control by the rules of socially acceptable behaviour which unfortunately is also escaped by anonymity. Social systems have evolved to allow us to 'all get along' by damping emotional or irrational behaviour, there are unwritten rules that when acting anonymously one is left to adhere to at one's own discretion. Social acceptance should not be treated as oppression to escaped, but instead as courtesy. It is interesting how hatred breeds hatred. It seems to create a feedback loop that takes a long time to die off.
Just eliminate the ability for people to be anonymous in thier leaving of comments, make sure they register and obtain an identity.

*The goal of most moderation is to prevent internet discussion from degrading in all these ways, but is that necessarily a good thing, is it right to try and stifle internet culture due to inconvenience.?
*With forums and other means of anonymous electronic communication becoming increasingly popular are these trends going to become cornerstones of modern culture?
*There are a lot of people that desire a level of accountability in internet actions, this desire ranges from basic desires to track everything done by one person for moderation purposes to wanting to be able to concretely tie a person to all their online actions. What are your opinions on the subject?
