All anonymous admins are fair game. An anonymous admin who admits to being a professional journalist is particularly interesting, because journalists have standards that have evolved over many decades.
I guess it's a philosophical difference. No, more than that, it's a historical difference. I do not believe that the Internet is so wonderful that all the old rules should be thrown out.
Anonymity is very valuable to the project, Brandt. You don't seem to understand or believe that. The level of openness and freedom granted by anonymity is a big part of what has made WP so successful. In any case, though, what benefit can possibly arise from Kate's departure from the project? I can only see harm, and I think you ought to feel guilty about this, and retract your threats to her so she feels comfortable contributing again.
