That's a real pity, because I find it hard to take anyone with an obfuscated presence on a site like this seriously as a person. It's probably a failing of me as a person, but I literally respect everything you write less, just because I don't know who you are, or what your name might be. Same with participants with names like 7ballwizard, Gumybolz, bad1dobby, etc. I can't picture you as a person, only collections of text and videos as they appear in posts. That doesn't just happen with this forum, but it's probably exacerbated by the lack of avatars. A nickname is fine, typically, but an unpronounceable collection of is really hard for me to connect with on a personal level.
