The Zimmerman prank---I'm sure not funny for him---hardens my line further against anonymity online. At its best, as here, it is an unholy nuisance.

People have gotten anonymous death threats over the telephone and poison pen letters by mail. Are you against phone and mail anonymity? And this wasn't even such a destructive prank! And it was perpetrated on April 1. Doesn't seem like such a big deal to me. --Dave.
