I don't see anyone arguing against pseudonyms for forums, internet communities, or anything else that's separate from your real life. Hobbies are indeed sacred.

I don't see anyone arguing against pseudonyms for forums, internet communities, or anything else that's separate from your real life. Hobbies are indeed sacred. Google's stance with Google+ is pretty clear: this isn't the place for internet lives and internet friends. This isn't a forum, or Reddit, or HN, or any of those things. It's a place, like Facebook, for people's real identities to engage with each other.
