    I don't have a problem hiding behind anything, but a lot of people LOOK for things to hide behind. I think it would encourage a little more humane treatment, yes. +5

    A few would, but most jerks are so accustomed to behaving that way, that it would not matter.

    They certainly would, then there would be no privacy. Big Brother is watching you type of stuff.

    I try to be polite most of the time and I try not to do anything I wouldn't do normally HOWEVER, I wouldn't be as free to ask certain questions and some of my answers contain mentions of the innocent, if my name was out there they would KNOW I meant them. And they might not think I was being polite, ya know?

    Yes and they would be downright charming if they had to post their address.
