True. However, general “stumble upon the site” readers (here) are not privy to Flublogia’s “personalities”. It’s a personal gripe I suppose… if one is going to snark off — directly — about someone, i.e., a direct attack such as occurred on the reference post by Orec, irrespective of the fact that I agreed with everything he said, one should do so with head held high and without the cloak of even a thin veil of anonymity.

It has been pretty well shown that those who participate behind a pseudonym are ruder, more vicious, mean spirited, etc. Now, I am not without my own rants and tirades… some quite “caustically alacritous”, and while I blog under a pseudonym on this site my real name is splashed all over it, and one needn’t go hunting or digging or searching.

Further, it is not my place to “out” him. Testicular fortitude does not automatically accompany a caustic wit…..

Orac is one of the least hard-to-identify pseudonymous bloggers out there. He often posts exactly the same posts under his name on Science-Based Medicine. He has also been “outed” (if you can call it that) numerous times, by people who get excited that they have “discovered” his real name.
