Personally I don’t have any problem with people using a screen name, and yes, real names can cause difficulties for some. Dealt with this many years ago with a particular individual. He lives in one country and was from another. Admin and mods on that board knew who he was and where he was and somehow, his anonymity was breached...and there was definite political danger for his family as well as himself. It’s true that people do behave more kindly towards others when all know exactly who they are, but that shouldn’t be a prerequisite for behaving civilly
towards others.
