A rule that you couldn’t directly name people of moderate or greater prominence wouldn’t work well anyway. People here are awfully clever, and I’m sure one could easily write a whistleblowing piece on such a person that left very little doubt about their identity without actually saying their name or other unique identifiers. In fact, I’m not sure if Ben’s piece could have been effectively written without most of the Forum readership knowing who Alice and Chloe had worked for.
