<VV> Communique Policy questioned

[James Dallas]

Mark, I'm confused.  Where is it expressed that he has the right to do so
anonymously?   Everybody has the right to free speech, but sometimes there are
consequences for their actions.

  Often local papers have a policy to allow "name withheld by request"
  letters, and for good reason. The letter writer has to live in that
  community, and sometimes expressing an unpopular idea will result in
  unwanted and sometimes vicious reprisals. Not everyone subscribes to the
  founding father's quote of "I disagree with what you say, but I will
  defend to the death your right to say it."

  Flame me if you will, but those who want to remain anonomous when
  expressing an unpopular idea ought to have that option. And we should
  respect their right to do so.
