Sir – Until very recently, anonymous communications (poison pen letters) were seen as contemptible.


I have personally been baffled for some time as to why it is now perfectly acceptable to write anonymous messages across the broadest ever field of communication, the Internet.


All social media should demand that everyone on their network writes only in their full and legal name with attributable contacts.

Anything less than this is cowardice. If you have things to say, have the guts to say who you are — and this must be enforced by law.
