Paradox of internet identity

What if this website permuted account addresses so that your content was associated with another user? How would you feel? Would that change how you used it? Should the identity associated with an idea matter if the idea itself is expressed somewhere?

Why do you think this is a paradox?

Just that, it may matter to a degree in some contexts, but probably 'ought' not to (or, the degree to which it matters should emerge from the axioms.) [I'm not sure if that counts as a full, valid paradox, however.]

Isn't the point moot since you're already using an alias?
