Steve,
Here is my response to that, which is similar to what I posted on other thread. I can guess why some do it but then give my own personal reasons, which some may or may not understand or agree with. Some unfortunately, who may be immature or passionate or whatever seem to attack people in a personal way on a regular basis. They do this for motivations I do not relate with but they are who they are. They may be like that in every day interactions or not. Either way I don't feel it is how people should be treated. Many of us, being human, do this as a slip up but it's not regularly and we apologize when done. I have respect for those people and don't really care if they share their name or not as long as they are trying to treat people with respect.
Personally, I do not share my name for a few reasons. First, since I don't come to these forums to try and e-scout or learn new techniques, what I gain from these forums is a resource to tap into a wide spectrum of demographic to discuss topics I feel are important to our Sportsmen Community. In doing this, I do not try to PERSONALLY attack or insult people but I DO challenge people to truly think about their opinions and express them so that we can all understand, without the irrational ranting that as you are aware of happens all too often in my opinion. By doing this I recognize it may not make me a very popular person at first but once we interact enough and people learn I will discuss fairly and try not to disrespect usually people change their opinion about me or at least tolerate me LOL! Unfortunately there are some who choose to hold a grudge and in this day in age I do not feel comfortable with the idea of people I know nothing about, especially their moralistic values, knowing my name. I have been burned by unscrupulous people too many times to the point where this works for me. I hope the discussions or opinions I chime in on brings some value by taking this stance.
