>>These people do not deserve anonymity, nor an assumption of good faith. sorry no... We do not strip essential liberty simply because there are bad actors out there who abuse it. The problem is not these individuals persay. The problem is Reddits moderation system in the first place. That enables "power mods" and gives the community no power to remove bad mods, and creates corrupting incentive systems along with admins that further corrupt this system by bestowing favors and powers upon the mods they favor. This has been a problem since the start of reddit and could be solved if Reddit had any desire to stop it, they dont so reddit continues it path on becoming worse than Twitter (if it has not already beaten it)

>sorry no... We do not strip essential liberty simply because there are bad actors out there who abuse it. That's not at stake. What's at stake is the power of a privileged few to get special concessions from the United States Supreme Court.

Anonymity is not an essential liberty. It appears nowhere in the US Constitution or the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

  Ohh yes it is an essential liberty, and the founders of this nation clearly thought so which is why they published their Federalist Papers advocating the ratification of the new constitution under Pseudonym, anonymously. Secondly I give no shits about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is a terrible document and no one should respect it. It is an authoritarian power grab guised as freedom. Nothing the UN does is for freedom. Finally, the US Constitution is not an enumeration of rights, in fact Madison did not even want the Bill of Rights for fear people later in history would claim just as you are now that the Bill of Rights is the enumeration of all Human Rights. Which is why they added the 9th amendment. Perhaps you should read that one sometimes. it is pretty important and often ignored "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." -- Amendment IX

    If it's an essential liberty then it should be available to all who file Supreme Court briefs, not just a privileged few.
