Come out, come out whoever you are

Jay, who writes for the Herald, has issued a challenge for the anonymously vitriolic media critic who goes by the name of Johnny Bag O'Donuts: Show yourself:

My name is Jay Fitzgerald. I'm a journalist and blogger. I work as a business reporter for the Herald. Your turn, Johnny Bag O'Donuts. What's your name, occupation and employer? Is there a conflict of interest here? If you're in journalism in some way, weren't you taught (and/or don't you teach) about the dangers of anonymous sources? Would you get in trouble if your name got out?

Another example of what gets Jay's dander up (even if it's about a columnist at the Globe).

I have no dog in this fight.

Jay, my friend...you get paid to write things published in the paper. That puts you in the public eye. That means people are going to criticize you. And you know what? They don't have to hand over their passports before they do it. Grow the hell up. This is NOT the way to gain new fans, it's a way to make people think you are less mature than my 8 year old.
