An individuals actions DOES, in fact, reflect the team they're associated with to some degree. Which is why I think it is best that the team and the person in question remain anonymous.

I think Leeland's (and others') reasons for allowing the person(s) who interfered with the matches on Einstein to remain unnamed are spot on. Based on my past observations of how the Chief Delphi community has handled situations where someone behaves inappropriately, it is INEVITABLE that both the person(s) and their team(s) would be metaphorically crucified. The response could have unintended consequences to the person(s) emotional state. In addition, the team would likely be unable to recover from the blow to its reputation. This is because, in my experience, the Chief Delphi community DOES NOT separate the actions of an individual from the actions of the team. Often times, I see members state that "your words/actions reflect upon your team."
For this reason, I would understand if the person(s) who engaged in the interference declined to make their identity known.
