I didn't mean that the two approaches should be used at the same. That's
self-defeating, as an otherwise anonymous user saying they should be treated
"no differently than any other editor" would raise a few eyebrows as to the
editor's real identity.
There are a few admins who have multiple accounts, purely so they can
edit articles without upset people stalking their
every step. There
are users who have had real-life stalkers and so quietly fade out one
account while using a second. This is fine as long as it's for good
reason and one is very careful not to cross the streams. Per
[[WP:SOCK]], "... some have suggested that Jimbo should get, and edit
from, a sock puppet account. Perhaps he does."
