We’ve covered Mudflats before – a great blog by an anonymous blogger up in Alaska. Turns out State Representative and former journalist Mike Doogan exposed Mudflats as political payback. Classy.

I was a bit surprised to see my real name, as you can imagine. But after the initial surprise wore off, it really hit me. This is an elected State Representative, of my own political party, who has decided that it’s not OK for me to control the information about my identity; that it’s not OK to express my opinion on my own blog without shouting from the rooftops who I am.
