Marc Bernier is gay? So that’s why Melody divorced him.

The deplorable case of Lori Drew, who created a fictitious MySpace account and taunted a neighboring teenager into suicide, is only one of the more notorious pile-ups on the information superhighway. Every day there are thousands, if not millions, of fender-benders and road-rage incidents in cyberspace as well.
A contributing factor in both real-world road rage and the seething cauldron of bile on the Internet? Anonymity.
Psychologists say a driver’s sense of being isolated and secure inside his or her rolling tank contributes to the rancor. It seems plausible: Who has heard of “sidewalk rage”? By the same token, the anonymity and remoteness in cyberspace seem to encourge people to go over to the dark side — and unload buckets of vitriol at the slightest provocation, real or imagined. Flamers, fraggers, and snipers camp out in chat rooms and on message boards and blast away with the impunity of hiding behind a nom de guerre. (And, yes, editorials are unsigned — because they represent the view of a newspaper as an institution. But the masthead at the bottom of this page names those responsible for the content.)
Plenty of poo-flingers are willing to sign their names to their screeds, of course — from Ann Coulter on the right to Ted Rall on the left. But anonymity encourages others who might tone down the rhetoric a notch to dial it up instead.
Anonymous political discourse has a romantic history in the U.S., where the Federalist’s authors wrote under pseudonyms. Anonymity has its place and its utility. But let’s be frank: Precious little of the ranting in cyberspace rises to the level of political philosophy. Ninety-nine percent is pure emotional venting. It would be commendable if more Web site operators encouraged accountability on their pages. As the Drew case reminds us, the lack of accountability is a cancer — with potentially fatal results.
