Okay, simply ignore the troll. But that isn't what you asked. You wanted to know if "using a "fake" name makes you more likely to cause abuse" so are you ignoring the obvious cases where it's true or are you actually asking for someone to post links to PDFs where people did studies on it?

I'm not saying that any ol' individual will be abusive given anonymity. I'm asserting that more abuse happens when people feel they are anonymous. This isn't a novel concept that I just came up with.

>I beg your pardon. Ted Cruz has a verified Twitter account, and I find every word he says to be torture.

Can you at least cite some examples?
