Thread Name: BS: Nicknames or real names on Mudcat?
Subject: RE: NIcknames or real names on Mudcat?
But you asked if we thought negatively about those who use pseudonyms. Most of the time, I don't think negatively or positively about that. It just is.

But, I feel that there are times when people should take a stand offline about what they posted online. And if they don't, then they are hiding behind their names and their online persona is fake. If they don't stand by what they wrote {about politics or social issues or other such topics}, then they know that they're not for real, even if no one else does. Taking strong positions on certain issues but failing to carry those strong positions into their real life may be just a game to them. But if it somehow became known that a person was doing that, I'd think negatively about them.
