Has everyone existed within a structure of intimidation in the past and now you fear the bright light of day? Lawsuits? Gimme a break.  Unless you've offended the RIAA you can say or do just about anything online and not fear a lawsuit. Not that you should do or say just about anything, but talks of lawsuits is hyperbole. Chatter on.
As far the schism goes, it would only work and cut only as deep as the rumormongers and gossips are allowed to go. If we use our collective voices to stand up to the bullies, then fewer of our friends will feel bullied to join some schismatic faction.

The three posters that left have used their photos in their avatars, making them more vulnerable to threats and intimidation. Everyone had a pretty good idea who they were!
For some of the rest, one must do a bit of detective work!
