The embarassment is greatly lessened by the anonimity. That's the whole reason people dare to be so crude here in the first place, they think nothing they say can be linked back to them. So yeah, they know they're stupid, but no one else knows, which means no one can say otherwise when they suddenly claim they believed in Fairy type all along.
The only ones off worse are the tripfags, who would be addressed on this issue whenever they post. They'd have to start over under a different name, or disappear into anonimity completely. But the less tripfags the better, so that's not a problem.
