For me, it was that the Internet never forgets and that you should never enter your real name. In my opinion, both of these rules are now completely ignored.

Don't feed the trolls.

Of course nowadays its nearly impossible to tell whos spouting racial slurs to get folks mad and whos doing it because they're just an asshole.

Just assume almost everybody is an asshole online and you can't be wrong. Because anonymity has granted them that capability.

The fact that people being assholes with their real names on Facebook tells me, anonymity has nothing to do with it.

Facebook has no anonymity though. So it's different. You are sole responsible for who you allow yourself to add that now may know your real name.

I think people being assholes on FB with their real names makes filtering a hell of a lot easier.
