Phil asked whether Handmeon members are allowed to created anonymous or pseudonymous online identities. THe short answer is, “It depends.”

The posts in Macklemoyle’s sojourn with Handmeons Hints provide some guidelines, but there was room for a lot of discussion in one of the comment threads raised some interesting questions about identity, authenticity, civility, and the uses and misuses of anonymity.

Do we need a water-tight policy or are guidelines good enough?
