Ahah. I am in the fic and RP communities, mate. I've been dragged over the coals with no back-up by at least one psycho not-so-anon already (no one wants to publically associate with someone being accused of being the WOSRT WRITER EVAH!). also I am quite good at identifying anon from their writing style, obsessions and grammar quirks but shush let's keep that between ourselves.
But I still invite anon crit openly, because it's what people feel they are entitled to in communities full of people who have never had to stand up for their opinions or beliefs and face down a critic. Where doing so is deemed "elitist" and "big-headed".
By now I think I am pretty immune, even if I don't totally "get" the whole anon thing myself. I only ever use it to say nice things that might make me blush otherwise, or to make jokes.
