   @48kRAM I blocked "The Stallman Report" because (a) it was attributed to "anonymous editors", (b) allegations in some of the replies sounded like things that should have been reported to the police, so if they weren't contacted or did not find it credible, the obvious question is "why", and (c) the whole matter seemed to pop up out of nowhere.

   Allegations should not be anonymous unless there is a credible reason to believe that there could be some non-trivial retaliation.

     @bzdev @48kRAM The entire report is one massive pile of citations. They're not claiming anything based on personal authority. Why would their anonymity discredit that?

     @Nentuaby @48kRAM You missed the point, which was basically, given all the ridiculous allegations going around these days - like meteorologists controlling hurricanes - when I see something where the "editors" are "anonymous", why would I bother reading it? How would they be threatened? It's not like Trump being able to ban someone from his country club (assuming anyone even cared).

     It is not about Richard Stallman. It is about a simple filter to avoid wasting my time.

     @bzdev @48kRAM Gonna be blunt: a filter that you won't read careful citations unless they're also backed by assertion of personal authority is fully, 180° ass-backwards.
