Anonymity, or how to say what you think without getting screwed...
Are UTAS going to track you down and fail you or discriminate against you if you comment on the UTAS Blog?
Most likely, if they can get access to your info...
This site is registered in the USA, with the biggest domain managers there and likely in the world. And what's more we have a private registration so (hopefully) UTAS can't find out who we are. Go to WHOIS and check out UTAS.WS (that's us), you'll find out not much.
We encourage anonymous comments. Obviously, suggestions that the Dean of Science is a Blood-Sucking Vampire will be treated as such. That is "batty".
Having said all that, when you do post a comment we get your IP address. Now a really concerned person might worry that we are in fact the University of Tasmania and basically a honey-trap set-up. And why not? The University of Tasmania would sell it's grandmother for vivisection and then hold her down while she was cut open if it meant a profit. So what can you do?
The answer is in anonymous surfing. We use and recommend Anonymouse. (http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html)
If you want to comment really anonymously here, you go to anonymouse type in UTAS.WS and when you comment,your comments go to anonymouse in Germany, your IP gets lost, your comment comes here but we (or the UTAS if this is a set-up) don't get your IP!

"The University of Tasmania would sell its Grandmother for vivisection and then hold her down, while she was cut open if it meant a profit."
Nice.
