Anonymity works both sides of the fence, so before we tear down that fence, I would like to see some more discussion, and ideas shared on the value of anonymity for those of us who already have it and do not intend to misuse it.
When does Cyberbullying end and Stalking begin when dealing with the Internet?
Answer: At the age of 18.
