In the first 2 pages of your HN commenting history, I can find half a dozen comments that, tied to your real identity, and given a sufficient amount of the right flavor of public attention, could be blown up to ruin your life. Not that I necessarily think these comments are so wrong that you would remotely deserve such an outcome for thinking or saying them, but that's the point: if it came down to it, that wouldn't be my judgement to make. And would you have unreservedly said all the things you have, if they were going to be permanently and publicly tied to your real identity? In fact, after a few more pages of your history, applied to some leet cyberstalking skills, I know your real identity and where you work and live. How would you feel about being outed, even over such nominally innocuous things? I would never do that, because it would be wrong. You commented with the assumption of a certain degree of anonymity. So did the people you're saying there would be nothing wrong with stripping a similar anonymity from.
