How does anyone on HN think this is a valid thought process?
Everyone has something to hide, at some point in their life. Everyone. And that doesn't mean it's illegal, immoral or life threatening. One day you'll have something to hide and realize how naive this thought process is. At that point, hope it isn't too late for online anonymity.
And it's worse if you aren't in developed countries with "checks-and-balances". There are too many examples of people being killed for expressing their views.
Freedom of speech comes with the cost of hearing things we might not want to hear at times. Sometimes potential vile things (Westboro baptist church, pretty much any Republican talking these days). Anonymity comes with the cost of trolls, but that is the cost we should understand and be willing to accept.
