Anonymous writings may be protected by copyright, but taking action to enforce that copyright would appear to require dropping the cloak of anonymity. I'm simply noting that if one were to try to exercise due diligence and secure permission from the copyright holder, you can't do that for posts by Anonymous Monk.
If you are being diligent, you would capture the terms attached to the material in question at the same time, so that you could produce evidence that you did operate under the published terms of use in effect at the time. Making a good faith effort to record the relevant information for future reference ought to go far towards mitigating any future nastiness.
