>>>> Personally, I am less likely to comment if my real name (coupled with a real-life social profile) is attached to the comment. This is the very reason I have no social media accounts that use my real name. And many people on my FB feed, have no idea what my Twitter handle is and vice versa. It's a great feeling to have a completely unencumbered sounding board where you can spew whatever you want (within reason of course) and your friends, co-workers, current or future company employing you will never know. Recruiters and companies always ask for my social media user names and I never tell them. It's nice to know with great certainty they won't ever find them unless I give them up willing.
