Maybe an answer would be to allow anonymity on the web but only as a legally registered pseudonym. The only way this legally registered pseudonym can be revealed is in legal action against a comment on conviction. That way people can have the right to anonymity so long as they stay within the law.

Awesome. No need to defend myself, I guess! How about instead, we respect the concept of free speech, and allow people to say whatever ridiculous shit they want without threatening to imprison them if they say something that makes us uncomfortable. > That way people can have the right to anonymity so long as they stay within the law. What does that even mean? If the system is designed with the express purpose of allowing the law to punish you for something you said, it's not anonymous.
