  I only post Anon when I don't want to self incriminate. I've put enough out there to figure out enough about who I am and where I might work, that sometimes its best to avoid leaving too many clues. They rest of the time, I am the mighty _gewg (OK, I'm not, but I love the I am Sparticus feel to it).

  I think I've only posted once Anonymously, but that was for a post so heavily laden with a very subtle irony that I was convinced a fair proportion of readers would completely misinterpret it, and basically shitlist my name for ever. I forget whether it was superficially racist, sexist, anti-SJW, anti-religion(s), blame-the-victim, or whatever now, but I was aiming for +5 Flamebait/Troll. I pondered about 20 minutes after composing it whether I should funny it up a bit, anonymise, or just bite the bullet. Not wishing to violate the integrity of my composition, I chickened out. Hmmm, thinking about it, I may have completely chickened out and not even post it, which means I wasted half an hour of my time!
  
  But apart from that, I'm prepared to stick the pseudonym I've been using online for over 20 years, and which is more than enough to identify my real identity, to all the crap that I post. That's who I am, deal with it!
