Société Anonyme

Many bloggers prefer to go nameless,  
So as not to be fired if blameless,
But a public display,
While constraining their say,  
Might cause them to curse and defame less.    


A recent incident in the "twitterverse", in which a financial journalist revealed the name of a vexatious financial blogger, has renewed the debate about the merits of anonymous or pseudonymous online posting.  Dr. Goose, who is pseudonymous but not anonymous, is posting here in response to a pseudonymous and anonymous post in the financial market blog Zero Hedge.
