Anonymous Posting is like Face Paint

I remember reading Lord of the Flies in my 9th grade English class, and one of the parts that was discussed in class was when the kids put on face paint, and started to act completely savage. I even pulled a quote from the part, "the mask was a thing of its own, behind which Jack hid, liberated from shame and self-consciousness." I believe that this quote on it's own is a very good example of how internet trolls work. They hide behind a screen like the kids hide behind their face paint. They don't have to face the consequences of their actions because no one knows who they are in the first place. They feel no shame, no remorse, nothing. It's similar to how people act in mobs. They act worse than they would if they were alone. It's an odd thing about humanity. 

 Humans are more confident in their actions when people don't know who they are. Of course, right? If you mess up, no one will know who you are and nothing will be pinned to you. I guess that's the appeal of anonymous posting. You can do whatever and you will face no harm. Anonymous posting is kind of like a super power when I think about it. It comes with great power and great responsibility. You can use it for good or for evil. Generally speaking, most people use it for good. Do you use your powers for good or for evil? (Probably good. Honestly I don't know anyone who's rude online).
