I was anonymous on boards and listservs before that. Oh, not anonymous anonymous–anyone who really wants to figure out who I am and where I live can probably do it. Part of it has been a general sense of “there are some Real Whackos out there, so it’s a good idea to keep the whackdom at arm’s length”, and since I started blogging the main reason for the anonymity is so that the dotter won’t find her name spread far and wide on the ‘net when she starts googling it. (Also so her friends and enemies in high school won’t find same and start the taunting circuitry a-jangling.)

I too am a Mudflat reader and I too am a mom who blogs anonymously.

It's deeply saddened me. Yours is one of the very best. Thanks. I’ve been reading the reactions from around the web since I first learned of AKM’s outing. It’s deeply saddened me.

There's too many nut cases out there for anyone to unnecessarily expose themselves to their ire. The amount of actual damage they can do is truly horrendous. Their sticks can rapidly ratchet up to real boulders. With a frothing nut at the wheel of state, noted for her revengeful tactics at any slight, I would be very afraid to come out of the closet.

Anonymous is good enough as long as we're all singing from the same hymn. But the moment someone sings (writes) something that isn't on the program, then Anonymous isn't good enough any more. That being said, I've had stupid and nasty comments left as Anonymous - and wish they would stand up to be counted. Is it okay to be an anonymous blogger and hate anonymous comments?

And I'm fairly certain Mark Felt would disagree with Doogan. Felt might not have written anything down, but Watergate happened because Felt said what he wanted standing behind the name Deep Throat.
