Internet manners
« on: December 20, 2012, 08:01:50 AM »
I have noticed a couple incidents lately of members who identify themselves with anonymous screen names being referred to by their actual name .
Many people who use a screen name do so for a reason, perhaps their job or position in the community requires anonymity.
I may question some ones integrity, sanity, or intelligence, but I think that "outing" a person in this manner shows a lack of respect and manners.
Thoughts ?

I posted my real name under my screen name a while back.  I never said anything under my screen name that I wouldn't say in public, face to face.  BUT I began to realize there people that hide behind their screen name and same some vile things.

As for proper etiquette I'd would refrain from "busting someone out" unless their behavior is such that it would be justified-like those @$$ hats that called for the shooting/murder of all NRA members.  In a case like that I might respond with name, rand, SSN, home address, cell number, physical discription and current location.  ;D

I think sometimes the 'familial closeness' between a few on here can cause actual names to slip out in discussions from time to time.

When I first found DRTV, I joined with the same screen name I had been using on several other forums such as car, truck, and other gun forums. It was just easier to have it all the same. I have thought several time about changing it on here, but so much time has passed that I just leave it as is.

I have posted my real name, Chuck Goins, on here numerous times and have no problem with anyone knowing it........ and like Magoo said, anything I say I would say anytime anywhere.

My real name is not much of a mystery. Anyone who wants to know it can find it easily.

Tom, you make a good point. I respond to the handle, or a shortened version thereof. If a fellow member uses his real name, more power to him or her. If not, like me, I assume he or she has something to hide. It's best we concentrate on what is being said rather than who actually says it anyway.

I use my real name without fear because 99% of the time people can't spell it c correctly anyway.
