anonymous comments

Cyberstalkers may hide behind free speech, anonymous comments and their right to privacy, but there are steps to take if you are being cyberstalked or suffering from another form of electronic aggression.

This sort of debate comes up every so often among folks who run news/commentary sites, and it seems to have boiled over again recently, as a bunch of newspapers/blogging folks got into a nice little discussion on the goodness or evilness of anonymous comments.

Not surprisingly, I side with Mathew Ingram on this one.
