I’ve stated before that I think online commenters to blog posts or news articles should identify themselves. (I don’t really have that problem here.)
There’s a poll on this issue at The Washington Post. It’s breaking slightly for those who favor anonymity. If you don’t, weigh in. If you do, please disregard this post.
There’s a Post blog post about this.
Here’s my take: If a newspaper requires identification for a letter to the editor, how can it justify anonymity to online commenters on an article?
