How many out there use their real names here? (vanity)

Posted on 03/24/2004 5:30:06 AM PST by Peter J. Huss

Just wondering. I switched a little while back, mainly because I didn't see why I should hide behind a fake name.

When I started using my real name, I was a wee bit more careful about what I posted.

Anyone care to chime in on this? Am I being foolhardy?

If your mom had named you Elvis Archibald Shaka Zulu you'd sign on as Tijeras_Slim too. I tried to get the login 'Tijeras_Slim', but alas, it was taken.

Well, wait til you post something that pisses off some kook and they try to make trouble for you in the real world.

I've known a couple of people who got burned that way, and I see no reason to open myself up for similar treatment. I took everything personal off my home page over a year ago. It is no cyber-stranger's business who I am.

Watch Caddyshack and you'll figure out the reference in my name.

I not only state my name, but also use my title.

You can bow on one knee when you address me.

I think it is obvious that I don't--LOL. But some freepers here know my first and even last name. Just depends on who I know well enough and trust with that information. In a climate inhospitable to conservatives, you unfortunately have to maintain some anonymity on forums like these.
Another reason I do it is I have experienced liberal harassment first hand when I used my real names--not on this forum--if you can imagine it was on a list for support for mothers. I said something derogatory about Margaret Sanger and someone on the list sicked some attack dog for some organization MS was involved with on me(she gave a person not on this private list my email, name, etc). This person was quite accusatory and made me feel very unsafe in my own home since she could access easily via my name where I live. While I trust the conservatives on this forum to a large extent, I don't trust the lurking liberals. Many of them are vile and not above harassing and threatening another person, particularly one they disagree with.

Be careful, exposing your "Peter" could get this site in trouble with the FCC.
