I get that point of view, but, if you look at all the evidence, it's very clear why PJ is so protective of her anonymity: she's just a little bit paranoid. I don't mean to be mean to her -- she's awesome -- but she has a tendency paranoia and conspiracy theorizing, and incidences like O'Gara's shameful harassment of her only serve to exacerbate the situation. I think she honestly believes that if she revealed her identity, Darl McBride would send a hitman to her house/apartment to off her or kidnap her loved ones. Is this a reasonable fear, well no, not really, but many people are scared to fly, so irrational fear is part of the human condition. No one's perfect, including PJ. PJ is, however, awesome, and Groklaw will be sorely missed.

Remember "I need you to send a jab PJ's way"? And then Ms. O'Gara replying, "I want battle pay"?

Sure, "just joking." That's easy enough to say after the damage is done.

Yes, there really was a conspiracy against Pamela Jones.
