No longer anonymous

The occasion for Maureen Dowd's column Tuesday in The New York Times on the web ("Stung by the Perfect Sting") was the news that the anonymous blogger who had called Liskula Cohen, "a 37-year-old model and Australian Vogue cover girl, a 'skank,' a 'ho,' and an 'old hag' who 'may have been hot 10 years ago'" might bring [or had brought] suit against Google for letting Cohen know who her tormenter was: "a cafe society acquaintance named Rosemary Port, a pretty 29-year-old Fashion Institute of Technology student."
    When Dowd went on to ask, "Who are these people prepared to tell you what they think, but not who they are?"
    I realized that I didn't want to be one of those people.
