If use Tor (for example) you become responsible for the actions of
every other user of that service.  So maybe Spike's friends on Exl
can't hold him accountable to the things he said while someone else
was using his identity, but Spike may also be selected arbitrarily to
be held accountable for things said (and done) by others when he
wasn't even around to suggest DDOS (for example) might not be a good
plan.

I wouldn't risk it.
