Anonymity is something that reveals who a person really is. Most people tend to hold their voice and opinions back because they are afraid to be judged, but once a person becomes anonymous, they show their true colors. People can learn a lot about someone if they read their anonymous posts online. When someone is anonymous they feel more free to discuss issues that they would usually stay away from. People also feel more free to discuss things that happened to them, like on reddit. Being anonymous online really shows how people really are. This can be scary too, people also use their anonymity to to be mean and troll people. This is the part of being anonymous that is bad. We should try to find a way to moderate anonymity. Even if we do moderate these things online, their will still be people who slip through the cracks.

"...there will be people who slip through the cracks." I absolutely love that, man. Anyway, I believe that what your post is saying is very true. It gives people a new found confidence because, not only is their name taken away, but so is their face. No one knows, entirely.
