There are a few things I can think of off the top of my head that we
could "invent" to make it harder to out people in the first place. Some
sort of enhanced anonymity account, perhaps, where both username and IP
number were hidden from non-admins. Whether these things would be wise
to implement or not is an open question that's beyond the scope of this
thread.
What we _can't_ invent, however, is some mechanism for reversing an
outing once it's been done. There is no umbrella on Earth that can put
the rain back up in the sky once it's fallen. That's the situation we're
in here.
