Yeah. We do develop internet 'identities' around our posting name over time. After a while other posters get a sense of our posting name as a 'person' and then we don't want to say anything that might affect other peoples view of who we are.
I do understand the desire to be able to say whatever without worrying about that. It is funny that it is like that to start with. We don't care what that posting name says. We feel anonymous. But after a bit of time our posting name becomes part of us and then we don't feel anonymous anymore.
The price for 'making friends' I suppose... That we care what they think of us...
