Although I have a fairly laissez-faire attitude about list membership (except in those cases where there is personalised malevolence), I think it is reasonable to require all list members to front up with their real identities. Knowing that what I write to Pen-L is archived and retrievable through search engines and that my views are their to be seen tends to make me at least try to be reasonable and temperate. I have to wonder about those are unwilling to be associated with they write. Thinking back over the anger directed towards Boddhi a/k/a/ Mr / Ms. Evans, I notice that a lot of it was a result of being unwilling to front up and take responsibility for what s/he wrote.
