I fought that fight on Twitter (and that was a bit rough as they tagged my job) and I see the same straw-man, out-of-context, personal insults going on here, even with my tepid (I’d *encourage but not require* people to post under their real name) take. 

But sticks and stones. They won’t shut me up. 

 I completely agree with the *encourage but not require* and it's true we have to normalise talking _openly_ about difficult subjects in a healthy manner.
