Thing is, I am obliged to perpetuate de facto policies established by previous gods such as vroom and tye, who was able to think about and explain the ideas much more cogently than I am. The bottom line is that reassigning ownership of a monk's posts to Anonymous Monk is completely unprecedented and I am reluctant to establish that precedent, at least without a groundswell of popular demand. Anonymizing an account, otoh, has some precedent. You still haven't made a case for why that approach is unsatisfactory.
