Real programmers are not anonymous

As esr so eloquently puts it in How To Become A Hacker[1]:
The problem with screen names or handles deserves some amplification. Concealing your identity behind a handle is a juvenile and silly behavior characteristic of crackers, warez d00dz, and other lower life forms. Hackers don't do this; they're proud of what they do and want it associated with their real names. So if you have a handle, drop it. In the hacker culture it will only mark you as a loser.

So if you guys and girls want to get respect as programmers, you'd better use your real names from here on out.

And now he'll argue that almost all jews are evil. Actually, the real (stronger) argument to be made is that if membership to a group is not predicated by "evilness" (i.e. a gang might require robbing or killing someone as part of the initiation), then even if all but one members of the group are known to be evil, you still can't judge "evil" the member of the group about which you don't know anything. Thus even if every single jew you've ever met was evil, you still can't conclude that there does not exist a single non-evil jew. Suppose that a proper reaction to evilness is hate (which it isn't). Hating all jews for their collective evilness thus has a large chance of punishing a non-evil individual. Since punishing the innocent is evil, you are evil, so you should hate yourself.

Mathematical logic, the crown jewel of human development.
