Anonymity is an important part of free expression, especially in repressive societies. I believe that the U.S. Supreme Court sided with this viewpoint in a recent decision. I put my name on most everything I post on the Internet for philosophical reasons, but taking ownership for controversial positions can result in retaliation and repression. I support RaucousCaucus' use of anonymity and satire, even though I don't think they're all that funny. Michael Atherton Prospect Park TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Send all posts in plain-text format. 2.
