Grog's Blahmut

The chap who is Grog's Gamut knew he ran the risk of being unmasked when he first set up an anonymous blog. If he didn't, he wasn't too bright. The fact that he was unmasked may be unfortunate for him, but I don't see it being in any way unethical. No one has a right to anonymity for no reason. Mr. Gamut knew he was doing something his job disallowed him, but he did it anyway, hiding behind anonymity. That's fine so long as it lasts, but like any superhero or villain, if you run around hiding your identity someone, somewhere will work it out. The longer he ran as anonymous, the greater his chances of being unmasked, especially as his profile rose. Why should he remain anonymous if a media worker discovers him? Since when is the media supposed to ignore a fact when nothing but a person's job is at stake, especially when that job was placed in jeopardy by Mr. Gamut's own actions? If Mr. Gamut really wanted to influence politics, he could've quit his public service job at any time and gotten rid of the need to be anonymous in the first place. The notion he was silenced is silly. He chose to be an anonymous blogger running the risk of being outed. The media have always investigated mysteries and uncovered them to the public. That's what they do.

Unless he was a whistle-blower or in a position where his anonymity was crucial for his or someone else's physical security, he had no rights to anonymity, just like any of the rest of us. The dude played a game and lost. Next.
