I've made no attempt to hide my identity here. I'm just as public as thenewgreen. It does impose some limitations. I can remember at least twice typing a comment on a thread and then deleting it because it was something I would not want the world to know. In both cases I remember thinking that that was a shame because I had a perspective that I think would have contributed something. I thought about creating another account for just such cases but I haven't. I've only gotten in one scuffle here, but wasn't worried about being hunted down. I'm not an asshole most of the time. On those rare moments that I want to be, having my identity public can serve to keep me in check. Only a little annoying. I'd rather be me here and let you know it. The things I want to share are usually things I create and am proud to take ownership of. So you get me. The price is that sometimes I'm more cautious than I want to be.
Really? I want to read the nsfw version of this: Don't hold back Mike.The price is that sometimes I'm more cautious than I want to be.
