Responding to a lawsuit (even a frivolous one) is costly and time consuming and a big hassle.
Implode-o-meter was sued by a mortgage company that lost financing allegedly because of leaks on implode-o-meter about their financial health.

OCR has no obligation to post his address or defend his purchase.

His speech is protected speech. If you don’t like it, don’t read it.
One good reason to remain anonymous is if you can’t be served, then you can’t be sued.
