It is always a good idea to review what you are posting and ask yourself “Would I post that if I had to put my real name to it?”

Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; [unless the peasant responsible refuses to put his real name on it]...

Fixed it for you.

We don’t want the government to be a nanny-all. We shouldn’t try to ban every bad thing.

Freedom of speech does not mean that you are free to slander someone. It protects you from criminal prosecution by government. Individuals can sue you for slander if you falsely accuse them and employers can fire you if you embarrass them.

There is of course a time to be anonymous, when exposing a powerful entity of criminal behavior. Usually that is done via leaking info to an interested press. If the "troll" wishes to accuse someone of being a pedophile then he should put his name to the charge and back it up with evidence.
