I’ve posted comments on several sites in response to the faux-controversery of Ed Whelans naming the blogger-formerly-known-as-Publius. My basic point is that if you want use a pseudonym in order to protect your “real-life” reputation, then you have no right attacking the reputation of those with enough courage to put their names to their opinions. It’s the craven act of a coward to complain that someone has “outed” them after the whiny, little brat picks a fight and then runs to hide behind the skirts of a pseudonym.
