I say people just sty behind their anonymity cloaks while they still
can. I can say from personal experience that if people know your real
name if you are a blogger, prepare for some hate mail. It filled my
inbox for a good month, and people are still talking about this
particular post (granted, all these people are idiots with nothing else
to talk about, but that's a different issue).

Stay anonymous peoples. If undercover police can do it, why not a police
blogger? Or Wikipedian for that matter?
