people are often wrong-headed enough when theyre not anonymous
the idea that a self-selecting anonymous group is likely to improve writing
sounds highly suspect to me
as to the suppression of community, I think youre bonkers
I think I'll stay in the poets' plantation
I'm sorry; buit your experiment page reminds me of educational documents -
often written as MEd projects - I used to suffer in inservice training
