It isn't the anonymity of your name that causes internet arguments, it's the ability to say anything you want without ever having to see that person or deal with repercussions. Just look at all the flame wars and arguments that break out on popular Facebook status's. Obviously having your real name exposed changes nothing.
I have no experience with that in regards to Facebook honestly.

But I believe putting a name behind your words does hold you more accountable. I think someone is less likely to spout random nonsense and BS when folks can see their real identity.
