... with more and more people being forced to use their real names on the Internet, you'll see a lot less flaming, trolling, and defacing. People I believe will be less quick to turn a discussion into an argument and more interested in understanding one another.

...but that level of honesty is only tolerated in politicians...
And engineers who speak with more accuracy than common sense...
This is why we don't let English majors write statistics texts.
