Anonymity.

Not sure really, depends on the reasons for infamy…

Unless the infamy came from doing right in an unjust society, definitely annoymity. Think, to some degree at least, it’s preferable to fame.

Anonymity. There’s a reason that all my usernames are Real Words.

Anonymity by far. It allows more freedom of movement both in thought and deed.

Depending on the “crme” I would usually say infamy although there are conditions on that. I just hate the idea of being anonymous.

I think deep down inside we all want to make a mark on this world in one way or another, so I suppose I’ll go against the grain and say infamy.

edit: I suppose you can make a mark on the world anonymously too. mehhh…

Well I am infamous and I don’t like it very much, so anonymity

That would depend on which paid better.

Infamy, because if I’m out in public and have their attention, at least I have their attention to be able to defend or explain myself! Plus infamy makes for better autobiographies.
