Anonymity can be used to stalk but it can also be a necessity to be able to use the internet WITHOUT being stalked for a lot of people. That's not a bland case.
I seem to have accidentally inverted my real point. Anonymity will always be possible for a dedicated stalker no matter what these jokers do to eliminate it. My concern is removing it as a straight forward option for the stalkee (which I was.) We're on the same side.
There are reasons for wanting a mask that are legal, ethical and mandatory. My life is of more than middlin' importance to me.
I totally fail to understand the crass blindness of those who limit their reasoning to their own bland case.
