[WikiEN-l] Danger to the community

Role accounts are a very, very bad idea. I'm quite surprised the discussion
about them actually had some support. Huge security risk, and goes against
building trust. I've always found pseudonymity (ie, usernames) far superior
to anonymity... and besides, it'd be folly to believe any role account would
reliably mask you: if you have enough experience with someone's style and
mindset, it can become very easy to recognize them in whatever guise.
