Theos-Talk Archives (December 2010 Message tt00122)

In our case, theosophists, it is rather ridiculous that anyone wants to use
pseudonyms. Since we are a small group, many know each other, and using a
pseudonym makes it very difficult and in course of time, the mask is removed
to the utter embarrassment and ridicule.

Also, since all writings in Internet is stored perpetually, many of them
will come to haunt them. In one case, some years ago the pseudonym was
uncovered. In a current case, I was independently told by three theosophists
about the identity of one of the hiders. There are a couple more who are
being watched by many theosophists.
