For us as individuals, if the problem is deindividuation online, then the solution is reindividuation. If you are as appalled as I am by the coarsening of public discourse, then remove yourself from the angry crowd and reclaim your individual story. Repudiate anonymity and be yourself online. Make a commitment today to never be anonymous or say anything anonymously. As you repudiate your own anonymity, also make a commitment never to engage with others when they are anonymous online.
