Do you hide behind a fake name?

Be honest. Are you a real person, or are you pretending to be someone else to cover up your identity.

If you are hiding behind a fake identity, I suggest you stop! I was for a while, but now that I'm more open, I find that this forum is a wonderful, accepting place to hang out!

Be honest. No one will be able to tell who voted for what.

[Bob the Builder]

Well, I have first vote, and I definatly put, "No, I'm not in hiding!"

[Ren]

Sure, but when I wrote an article for my website and posted it here, it became obvious who I was. I don't think it changes anything, except that I don't see a need to issue forth my public "real" persona at this time. I'm the same me, just with an alias name - like an email address.

Namedun.....obviously this is not my name

[Trailscout]

I am just like Ren about names. Trailscout is what I am, and it says more about me than the name I was born with.

Hiding, NO. Using my full Name, No. Why do I not use my name? Because of my employment. Let's just say that it is not that hard to loose a job these days. Thank You, George W and your Nazi Mentality.

Jon-Marc isn't my full name, but it is part of it. There's nothing I write about myself that isn't true, but then you've only got my word for that haven't you?

This is why I like when people have picture avatars... it's nice to have a "real" face to go with the name

I'm actually thinking about taking a new job offered at a rather prestigious place... and honestly I wouldn't change a thing - if I was "found out" why on earth would they have a problem with it? And if they did, I'd fight it. This is a part of my life I would never hide from.

You mean your real name is "Patx"? How do you pronounce that?

Rikx

[Petrus]

I would use my name "Peter " but somebody had already used it, so I decided to use the latin version. Since I retired, I don't mind who knows about my naturist lifestyle, but I would not indicate my surname in case I attract the attentions of a "nutter"!

I don't hide from anyone. Some time ago on another thread I posted my entire name and address.

No Barelybob is not my name, but Bob is.

Robert Troy Dodge, Shelton, Washington.

[Idaho_Nudist]

Idaho_Nudist isn't my name it's who I am. I use my nickname (Leo that is what everyone calls me) in all my profiles. I don't consider that hiding and if you ask me who I am I will tell you.

What I think is hiding is when someone doesn't take the time to fill out profiles and let ppl know a little about themselves.

[Brit]

well....Brit ain't my name its Ben but i dont have a fake ID, everything i say is the real me!
