I'm a long time member of the FML.  I stopped posting under my real name
quite some time ago, because there was a certain person who took every
word I posted and twisted it around in order to attack me.  I wanted to
continue to participate on the FML, as being a long time owner I felt
that I had a lot to offer.  I just couldn't take the constant abuse by the
other person.  So I started to post anonymously.  It's worked out great, I
can still offer help, but no longer dread reading unprovoked attacks the
next day.  I am sure there are others in my same situation.

[Moderator's note: While DA's situation seems to be accurate -- I have
received information supporting the allegations -- I should point out
that anonymous posts are held to a somewhat higher standard.  Also note
for a short time after an anonymous post appears I can forward a response
to the poster.  BIG]
