Hi,
I think sjastro's post on PC is well stated. On 'The Internet has a lot to answer for' and related, I think that the Internet is a powerful tool -it is how it is used rather than it itself. The sun is powerful, it is not a bad sun.
Many destructive-consequence (aka evil) doers do NOT so-called hide behind keyboards. They bully openly.
Many who have been or would be bullied have no voice unless in anonymity. So we need to keep them able, too. Please take care, about the notion of 'hiding' behind the keyboard. Beware the so-called "solution" that ends up closing down their voices! There's also a saying (sorry can't recall exact words) about how anonymity allows topics to be examined uncoloured by perceptions of the speaker.
The Internet, as in all mass communication means, is powerful (for positive use too). Any powers and any coup grab the mass-communication means first. The peaceful ones do not think about power, so are powerless. There are solutions, still to be worked out.
