I don't like pseudonyms.

If I were famous and did not want to be in the public eye, I might use a pen name.
I hope that never happens though.

Although my name is Milton I have been called Mickey since I was two days old. Really.

Sincerely, Mark Twain.  Or is it Lewis Carroll?
A rose by any other name, smells as sweet...

I use a pseudonym, but I believe in responsibility for my words, which is why I am unafraid to use a real photobof myself for an avatar, and share my name publicly. Pseudonyms are fun, but I have always treated internet forums like I tewat my local coffee shop. If I would mot say something in a face to face conversation, I dont post it on the internet.

Respect and responsibility are more important than a name. Sure, anonymity allows someone the freedom to be an ass, but that doesnt mean anonymity guaratees it....

Freddy,

Unfortunately I can occasionally manage to attain 'ass' status on my own initiative.
I am not boasting. I believe it has something to do with foot and mouth disease.
I just curse my real name and stumble on.
Like Don Quixote I sometimes tilt at windmills. Fun but futile.

I just don't take Internet forums too seriously. I have been called every ugly thing that I can think of, but it doesn't mean two bits coming from people that I don't even know. That's why I don't mind using my name, at least if people are going to insult me, might as well use my name, lol.......

Mickey, I appreciate where both Chris (BadDad) and you are coming from and I believe that both of you are stating pretty much the same thing.  That is that Honesty=Integrity and I agree with both of you. Happy2
