You really can't think of situations where people might not want to reveal their true identities to effective strangers on the internet in a public forum?
*edit, just to clarify, I'm not knocking it. Just saying you obviously don't care that your facebook is posted on this forum for any old dick and harry to see. That's... well, brave IMO. Maybe a little stupid depending on your circumstance. I know if future employers searched for my name and came across this forum, I wouldn't want that. Sending your identity over PM seems smarter.

I honestly cannot.
I suppose that makes me dumb?

If I was not an honest person I'd say no.

Does that not mean an explanation is in order?

Did you catch my edit?
Like I said, for me, potential employers, even family members could happen to search my name up. If it came up on this forum, I doubt I'd want that so much. Honestly, I don't see why you wouldn't understand the reasons for that. I bet most people are the same. There's a reason most people like their privacy on the internet. But again, not knocking you really, it's up to you, your circumstances might be different and you might not need to care about your online presence. But it just strikes me that a few people are a little open about their meat space identities, especially when anyone in the world can look at the posts on this forum.

Naps! you've already gone public by posting a vid of your accent.
I put the clip in Songify Vidify [Interpol division], and boy oh boy, you are a hard one to catch!
I've decided not to make a biggie out of it because she looked 16 (if you squint really hard) ...
It's an honest mistake! I just don't get why you don't want to meet your triplet daughters?

Had a feeling this might get brought up. It's totally different. Nowhere in the vid did I reveal my actual identity, only my face, and it's on a private youtube account (private video too, only people on this forum can see the video, you can't search for it) that also has no references to my actual identity. I tend to delete those vids after a while too, just to be sure. The only way someone could find out who I was on those vids is if they knew me already by my face and by pure chance decided to come onto this forum and just happen to view one of those threads.
So, yeah.

I missed your edit, and I can understand your situation now that you have explained it. As for me, I am of the mind that they can fuck themselves if they in any way hate who I am or what I post.
