Because seriously-- even old Martin signed his name.
Yeah. Very few works, historically or literarily, have been anonymous. There are a few, though most of those are anonymous because the author either faced persecution of the Torture-Maim-Kill kind or because history has forgotten the person's name.
But the really great things said and done in history? Said and done by people who stuck to their guns.
Not to mention that if Martin Luther can risk the ire of the Catholic Church, which basically controlled the governments of Europe at that time, then you can risk a few nasty words to sign your name to a drive by comment, yanno?
I don't get what people are afraid of. Besides being outed as idiots, that is.
