A screen name is no less "real" than a legal name.
- lutorm 15y agoTo the extent that you can change it at will without effort, yes it is.
- Astrohacker 15y agoWhat does that matter? If people know you by your screen name, that's a real name. Legal names are just nick names that are recorded by the government.
- lutorm 15y agoIt matters because if people can change names at will, they are effectively anonymous. And anonymity can bring out the worst in people.
