I voted you up in order to remove some of the downvotes you're getting, because there's nothing wrong with the tone or level of documentation in your comment.
However, you are also completely wrong. I'll produce two anecdata points.
Look at the Facebook comments on a local newspaper that uses them (e.g., thestate.com). Note that on any article that touches on a partisan issue or a scandal, the tone and contents of the comments are vicious, personal, and frequently harassing.
I admin a large-ish meme page on Facebook. The comments section is a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
From what I can tell, some communities have better norms than others, in terms of promoting civility, but the use of real names doesn't make a significant difference.
