"Government barking at the door of free speech"

I just read an article in the Gazette, "Government barking at the door of free speech". It talks about the issue with anonymous bloggers, writers, ect. It recalls the current court case where Google was forced to give the name of one of their anonymous bloggers because of the content in the blog.

The writer of the article quotes Barbara Allen, a former Tulsa World editor and reporter, "This is a country that supports a free press and freedom of expression, and on that has very thoughtful laws about what is and what is not considered protected speech. I cannot support the kind of paternalist view that suggests 'nastiness' is something the government should attempt to control or regulate. It truly flies in the face of the foundation of this country."

The writer believes that we should not blog anonymously. He says that it's reasonable for the courts to hold people accountable for what they say, but when they are ordering for the names of anonymous bloggers to be revealed, it can't be good for free speech. So, his main argument is don't write anonymously. By doing so you are doing your part to keep the government from barking at the door of free speech.

I found this article intriguing and it left me with a few questions...

Should bloggers write anonymously or not?
Should the court system order companies to give them names?
What does this do for free speech?
