I will make two points, though:
One, as I've said before, it's easier to avoid some of the pseudonym
problems if you just use your real name. I don't think there's any
cause to abolish pseudonyms, but I do suggest that people reconsider
using them. My opinion is that use of real names does not in fact
bring any significant risk of real life consequences, and is simpler
and ultimately better for you and the project.
Two, keep in mind that anything you do related to Wikipedia may now
get viewed by a potentially hostile press and outside community.

Those two observations seem inconsistent with each other.
