Last evening BBC Newsnight's anchor man Jeremy Paxman, minus his beard, interviewed a woman who was the victim of unspeakable abuse on twitter.
Two people have pleaded guilty in court to the offences and will be sentenced in the next days.
One of the perpetrators admitted that she was drunk out of her mind when she tweeted the abuse and the other person's counsel explained that the young man had serious social problems.
What the programme did highlight was the danger and nastiness of the plague of anonymity.
