make it impossible to use the internet without your real world identity being attached to everything you post


That's such a slippery slope.

I totally agree it would encourage responsibility. The internet would be a different place altogether. That's the good part.

Now imagine all the psychopaths you might have annoyed getting ahold of your street address. Because you know if the data's there, it's gonna get compromised and it'll all leak out eventually.

Richard Stallman might be paranoid to an extreme, but an internet with complete transparency isn't a place I'd hang out.
