Under no circumstances do I support publishing real names for users in association with their online activity. I grudgingly concede that some will wish to do so voluntarily, but it should never be compulsory, nor should it be permissible to indicate whether or not any user’s name is the same as their legal name. As long as people can be rapidly and efficiently held accountable if they abuse others, it doesn’t matter to me in the slightest what they want to openly call themselves on any given Internet site, and I want constraints in place to ensure that “publish your legal name” is an impermissible form of direct, indirect, and/or peer pressure.
