An observation. In the text from Dave Lee that I quoted, he notes that those under (doubtless anonymous) attack make their comments under their own names. In exchanges years back on the old Formers site I conceded that individuals may have legitimate grounds for posting under a pseudonym. But if you use a pseudonym you don't really have the right to attack named individuals. Sauce for the goose and all that. So I accept that "Peter Kroger" may well be a top UK civil servant who cannot post under his own name, but if so he does not have the moral right to name those who have the courage to do what they do politically under their own names.
