Ok, lets roll with your idea that anonymously publishing true information is unethical.
If a woman blogged unkind and sexist behavior at a tech company, but hid her name to avoid the backlash (like Michael), that would be unethical. I guess she'd be an "asshat", right? Same thing for a journalist using an anonymous source?
I do indeed have a poor understanding of ethics and I'm pretty open about it. It's hardly an easy subject. Often I think I've found the "critical element" and suddenly swapping around the personalities radically changes my intuition.
