When I was in college 13-14 years ago, someone started a Political Discussion listserv on the university's email. It started fairly innocuous but eventually the discussions got really ugly, especially since College Republicans (and college leftists) were poo poo bags then as now. And when it got ugly, it eventually turned into things like cars being keyed and threats being made. The university pulled the plug on the listserv after about a year and a half.

This was a discussion forum where no one was anonymous and you could use anybody's email to look up their address in the campus directory.

The internet is not the way it is because of anonymity. It's even worse without anonymity. People do not modify their behavior when their names are visible, that makes it even more personal.
