Someone On The Internet Was Mean To Me
[A]t the end of the day, most trolls wouldn’t have the gall to say to another person’s face half the things they anonymously post on the Internet. Instead of waiting around for human nature to change, let’s start to rein in bad behavior by promoting accountability. Content providers, stop allowing anonymous comments.

Correct me if I am wrong, but my impression was that some of the nastiest online comments can be found at . . . Facebook. In any event, I tackled this nonsensical stuff back in 2007.

It's easy enough to avoid nastiness on the internet - don't get involved.
