Penny Arcade is about games, but I'd say that theory applies to just about any internet community, including programmers.
Especially in the FOSS world.

I have seen that and similar pictures many times, but never fully understand what they are trying to say.

1. Anonymity is bad? (My answer: if anonymity is using nicks instead of names, certainly no) 2. We all are nothing but total fuckwads (whatever that means)? (My answer: possibly yes) 3. What the hell anonymity actually mean in internet anyways? (My answer: i am not sure)

For example, i am using a nick (instead of a random name, which might be as well forged), because i hate seeing my name everywhere, good or bad.
