There is an excellent essay in the December 21 issue of *The Village
Voice* that talks about, among other things, the distinction between
anonymity and pseudonymity in the NET (on MOOs in particular). There has
been a small amount of calm discussion about pseudonymity on Cypherpunks,
and I don't want to revive the embers; but the distinction the VV author
(Julian Dibbell) makes between the abusive behavior often masked by
anonymity and the more mature concern for one's pseudonymous reputation
would make good background reading for anyone wanting to mull over this
issue in print.
