With how Facebook forces real names, the idea that being anonymous has any influence where or not someone is a fuckwad had been debunked.

It's not the anonimity that makes people fuckwads. It's the lack of immediate consequences. A fuckwad won't get a punch in the face for what they say on facebook, hence they feel they can say anything and be a fuckwad.

Regardless of how you feel about Tyson, Truth is Truth.

In a large enough group there is still anonymity even if your face and name are on there.
