Ignoring the expense and risks associated with verification, anonymity is the absence of constraints imposed by identity. Free from that particular restriction, you can create and wear whatever mask you want.

The range of self-expression is wider because you can be all of your selves — even those you don't know about yet. Try doing that among your IRL friends — it's much harder because violated social predictability doesn't invite positive feedback. Anon detaches the expectation.

That's not to say anonymous is all good. It's just that the impulse to associate every online identity with a traditional offline one, defensively, is really bad medicine. TL;DR: Anonymity is good, actually.
