The limitations of Facebook are self-evident. When you join a Facebook group to discuss a topic everyone in that group has access to your personal information, not to mention the data mining Facebook itself does for the privilege of allowing you an account. There are no Facebook police to keep the discussion on-topic or even at a minimal level of adulthood. There are hundreds or thousands of people all talking while nobody is listening and the conversation is all but impossible to follow. Facebook has a purpose but it is no replacement for forums, just as forums are no replacement for Facebook.

Anonymity is for people with something to hide, or some reason to hide. While I'm not suggesting people post personal identifying information or photos of their spouses and children, the only people who truly need to hide behind an IP address and an anonymous username such as L33THAX0R are those whose intentions are to spam, troll, flame, bait, or otherwise disrupt the community.
