We have a thread going here about authors concealing their identity.

We do that here, don't we?

I belong to a forum where all are required to register and use their real first and last names in every post. Everybody there does.

One result: The posts are quite civil and courteous. Some disagree quite strongly, but not viciously or discourteously.

No, there are no plans here for requiring real names that I know of. I am just curious.

How do you feel about using real names on a forum?
