MDMD: The Crime of Anonymity

[jbor]

I think the irony is that the "Crime of Anonymity" for which the Rev.d has
been exiled is somewhat lesser than the substance of his misdemeanours thus:

    That is, I left messages posted publicly [...] Accounts of certain
    Crimes I had observ'd, committed by the Stronger against the Weaker,--
    enclosures, evictions, Assize verdicts, Activities of the Military,--
    giving the Names of as many of the Perpetrators as I was sure of [...]
                                                            (9)

Which does seem to relate to the predicament of a prize-winning and renowned
author who speaks on behalf of "the Preterite" and who names the names,
literally, of some of their oppressors in his fiction.

I think that the Rev.d is fully aware of the irony too.
