I have assumed no such stance (another tedious strawman), and I've already conceded that libel laws and defamation laws are a useful balance to anonymity. Most countries already have laws that limit spam messaging (the scams you refer to would be caught in a lot of cases by these), illegal activity is already illegal and I'm not sure what "bogus communications" means.
Maybe you can help me in understanding what you see as the additional benefits?
