Because we have the balls to put our names to our statements, and tend
to more greatly respect those who do likewise, while discounting those
who hide behind netnyms.

Also, I find it hard to keep up with people who use netnyms. It is
almost impossible for me to keep up with who said what and attach
anything resembling an understanding of them as real people to their
bogus names.

And I hate going from place to place on the net and getting private
messages from folks saying stuff like, "Hey, Mike! I recognized your
name! I'm shitferbrains763 here but you know me as PoWeRtArD on
blahblah.com and as ghghgh44444 on otherblah.com" Fuck 'em if they
can't use a real name I can keep up with from place to place.
