What are you talking about? The internet is anonymous. Everyone knows there is no way your real identity can be discovered! You can do what ever you want without any ramifications.

People don't realize that everything on the internet is on a server, somewhere or another, in a simple text file for all to see.

That is my response to anyone who complains about why I don't have a Facebook account or whatever. Because that is just what I want, a big red bulls-eye over me. It astonishes me to see all the professionals and business who have a Facebook account.
