I don't think there is a problem with editors occasionally making a
comment from a position of anonymity.  The nature of the comment,
however, is important.  If there are administrators for whom I hold
otherwise high regard, who choose to use anonymity to make
inflammatory comments about the actions of other administrators, I
think that's an abuse of anonymity.  Again, the target of the
inflammatory statements was *not* Brandt.

Come now, how did Ryulong's actions put people in danger?  His block
*prevented* them from editing Wikipedia.  We still don't know their
identities (although as a matter of course, given the similarity of
the inflammatory accusations by socks, I hope the checkusers have
investigated this affair for possible abusive socking).
