This is obviously a very personal issue to you. And I am sympathetic to the unique facts of your argument with Joe P.
I think you feel exposed on here because you have always used your real name and a lot of people in the industry know you personally and professionally. Sitting in your shoes from the spotlight, I would certainly want the light shined on everyone ese.
But when I came on here, from day 1, I never wanted to post my name publicly or learn the real life info of anyone else; in nearly a decade on here I've never met member (except 2 or 3 extremely brief "here you go/thanks" in person card trades). Viewing the world from where I sit in the shade, I could care less about "real" names. And I understand and respect the importance of not being easily Google-able by, e.g., a current or future employer.
Do you know that the next time you apply for a job somewhere that they will Google you and see all of your posts on here?
Or that Michael O'Keefe might write a blog about you?
Why would you expose yourself to that?
