Chris maybe I'm missing something here or maybe it's just for the sake of privacy purposes.

Why would anyone care if they had to have their real name present or not on a debatable conversation or opinion?

You can possibly be sued for slander/defamation if the person/company takes offense at what you said. The other part as you said is privacy. Some folks don't like all of their net54 posts coming up when their name is googled or similar web crawlers that track names on the internet.

In defense of that, many members scramble their names so they don't get caught in searches. But your point is well taken, especially about lawsuits.
