“"[W]hat is the limit to [defendants’] claim? Any charitable institution or religious institution sued because of the actions of its employees, servants or clergy could, presumably, come into court and claim party anonymity because of the harm disclosure would do to its very worthwhile activities.” Doe v. Diocese Corp., 43 Conn. Supp. at 165 , 647 A.2d at 1074.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"[T]he fact that pseudonym status has been given to one party does not mean that the other party is entitled to identical treatment.

Supp. at 162-63 , 647 A.2d at 1073.”
