Sounds like you don't actually have an argument. I made a conscious choice to use my real name for the reasons stated above. But I have also been sharing my real beliefs with friends & family on facebook & elsewhere since I first joined. Hiding the real you at work or with friends is just making yourself a slave to the perceptions of others. Being valuable & refusing to hide attracts good people & allows you to shape your life in a way that serves you, rather than contorting yourself in ways that serve ideas & people you hate. I still am off of twitter now, am mostly free of proprietary software (or at least working in that direction), I have a feeling I will be off of all centralized platforms in the next year or so & will be able to drag a lot of people with me. The goal is to be a sovereign individual, not some sort of shadow creature.

The sort of mental connection I'm looking for can't be faked. No one can pretend to understand the things I talk about well enough to actually engage & enjoy my company & enjoy a relationship with me with any of the depth I want of they don't really mean it. Meaningless sex is a complete waste of time & energy & is just a good way to wind up feeling empty & stupid.
