For fun, more articles on trolls, anonymity, and google plus:
An article that appeared this Sunday claiming that anonymity leads to trolling
If your website is full of assholes it's your fault
Geek Feminism's wiki on the many different ways that someone can be hurt by a real names policy
Another geek feminism article asking for evidence that real name communities are better behaved than communities with pseudonyms.
