"Hackers can be abrupt even in person. Put them on an anonymous forum, and the problem gets worse."

I am sure everyone on this forum is on some kind of social network. If we can get every user's handle to link to their flavor-du-jour social network's public profile, verify via email -- that should at least cut down on some of the noise.

I had thought facebook would be the beginning of this, but it seems to be a flash in the pan, and too locked in to really be effective.
