It's definitely stopped me from talking on more than one occasion .

It should be reiterated for newbies that the name rule is for those contentious debates, when someone is criticizing a company or accusing a seller of fraud or such. It's nor required when someone is posting in all those "What's your favorite T206 pose?" and "Does anyone have the complete Police Gazette Supplements checklist?' threads. It's actually a small minority of threads and posts where a name is required.

Al Bundy's quote on Married With Children was "You have two choices. You can get out or you can get the Hell out."

And this is one reason why the rule is what it is, to me. A lot of people have suggested ALL members need to have their names by their posts. I politely disagree.
A lot of collectors want to remain private in return for not saying everything they might say otherwise (publicly). I don't think anything is wrong with that at all. To me, It would be a shame to not let folks participate somewhat privately if that is what they want to do. Live and let live, but with respect to the first post.

Chris maybe I'm missing something here or maybe it's just for the sake of privacy purposes.

Why would anyone care if they had to have their real name present or not on a debatable conversation or opinion?

You can possibly be sued for slander/defamation if the person/company takes offense at what you said. The other part as you said is privacy. Some folks don't like all of their net54 posts coming up when their name is googled or similar web crawlers that track names on the internet.

In defense of that, many members scramble their names so they don't get caught in searches. But your point is well taken, especially about lawsuits.
