I'm just an exotic troll, but I wanted to share with you that I
believe it is dangerous to reveal your legal name.  I believe we need
to set a norm of everyone using pseudonymous identities, and accessing
networks via difficult-to-identify means.

The reason is that there are a wide variety of community groups right
now, looking for ways to break up and add stress to other community
groups.  If random people can't associate your name with things as
easily, you, your community, and your work, are safer.

What are your thoughts?
