Will RealID actually stop trolling?

I don't fully understand this change.

Blizzard want to do this to stop trolling, fair enough. But will it stop trolling?

I'd bet most forum readers could name 5 trolls of the top of their heads. All that will change is that instead of naming "lolarthasdk", they'll name "Robert Paulson" or something.

UNLESS of course Blizzard think people wont troll for fear of backlash in real life due to people finding out about the trolls and chasing them down in other areas of the web? See Bashiok.

If that's the case, aren't Blizzard sort of admitting the flaw with the new system?
