official pseudonym and proxy policy

I wanted to get everyones thoughts on an anonimity policy.
I can not, in good conscience, condemn anyone for wanting to use Tor or anoy other anonymizer to hide their identity from the government or from the Five Eyes - certainly not after Snowden's revelations. Tor promotes an individual's right to privacy, and I'm all for that.
I also can not see any good reason to prevent an individual from using a pseudonym. In fact, I think we should go the other way, and disallow or at least discourage attempts to force a pseudonym user to reveal their true identity. (Of course, I think such pseudonyms should also be reasonable - no foul language should be used in making one, for example.)
Still, this is just what I think. I want to see how the rest of the community feels before I take this any further.
