@wandeljw,
Jurisdiction is gonna be a bitch…and I seriously doubt it will ever be resolved in New York’s favor.
I post under my own name…but anyone who wants to remain anonymous ought to be able to do so.
I do think that anyone who has no compelling reason for anonymity other than a desire for it should consider using their real name rather than one of these aliases. I know of no reputable newspaper that would print an opinion piece without the name and city of the poster…except for very, very limited exceptions.
BOTTOM LINE: New York is going nowhere with this idea.
