With reference to moot's point about the incontestable equality and a systemic reverence for ideas (instead of individuals) in an anonymous community, ask.fm isn't qualified as a service using anonymity. By placing those asked questions in a different social category (as the subject of focus) than those asking the questions (as those focusing on the subject), there is a major discrepancy between the identities of both types of participants.
