I don't know if I buy into this for simple reason of protection. Too many people are willing to disclose their every move and with real names and Villages leaves one exposed to the bad guys. Posting your real picture as the avatar has a high likelihood of misbelief (like the dating apps) or ruining my dinner. But I do appreciate your concept of snarky due to anonymity. Just to expand your snarky thought - why do we need to tolerate here political, religious, snarky comments because they are "below the line" at the bottom of a post. Why doesn't that count as against the rules ?
