Eh? For a start, you won't get many people saying hello. If someone wanted to say hai to you on irc for example, and you insisted on seeing what they look like, they're going to think you're a raving loonie, seriously. You clearly and understandably have trust issues, but to assume every person you meet is a potential asshat is counterproductive to communication and you'll find yourself so well guarded that you end up alone.
snilloc raises a very good point - the person who shares their photo with you may well have picked it out from the squillions of random images of people from google images, and seeing as the internet doesn't have lie detecting qualities, would you believe it was them just because they were able to show you a pic, any pic?

Wildcard is right, in that you don't seem to comprehend what trolling is, and seeing as there's no global database of photographs of trolls, how do you propose everyone 'gets a visual'? Also, do you want to include real-life trolls while you're at it?

The silence is deafening because it's a stupid idea. It's not even an idea, more wishful thinking on your behalf than anything. The experience that life gives you will help you to trust again, but be realistic and careful about your expectations of others, because even if a person were to share their photo with you, who's to say they're not going to turn out to be a complete twat anyway?
