"real" names versus names
Mar. 3rd, 2009 02:14 pmi didn't used to get why people might not want the name they use online to be easily attachable to their legal name.
due to various things going on in my life at the moment, i now totally get it.
i get it so much that i'm screening comments to this post, i tell ya.
i think that people's names, of whatever form, should be able to be traced back to them, by people in the community where they use that name. but that's different from "easily attachable to their legal name".
eta: if you're okay with me unscreening please say so.
