Aloha Kalianna,
Actually, I found that my using a pen-name caused a lot of uncomfortableness. As in the HPPOA board lemmings often accused me of being "fake," and stated I could obviously not be trusted to tell the truth because why else would I use a pen-name? (Convoluted, I know. But then, in my opinion, most board-supporter logic is convoluted.)
A name on the internet is nothing. Most people, if they Google themselves, will find their name somewhere online. A name is not gratuitous either. A name is how individuals communicate and connect with one another. (Unless you are a stock animal- we used to give ours numbers. But then, funny enough, those numbers became names.)
A moderator, who feels comfortable in stating, "the number of red flags reported on this post..." but is not comfortable in attaching a name to that claim...
Well, let's just say, if I would have done that, using my pen-name, the board lemmings would have been jumping at me en masse.
Either way, I respect whatever Moderator 2 chooses- share or do not.
Aloha-
