| Partial dichotomy |
How do you feel about other members using your name in forum discussions if they happen to know it from outside the forum or otherwise? It doesn't bother me and I've called members by their names and not their screen-name and I hope it's not offensive. ETA Carl SIGforum: For all your needs!

Actually I like the familiarity here that comes with using my "real" first name. But a big NO on last names.  --Bob Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club! USN (RET), COTEP #192 | |||

My real first name is part of my screen name so it'd be my own fault if it bothered me. To make it clear for the blondes out there - I'm not bothered.In posts, I generally address members I've met in person by their screen-name. A time or two, I've addressed them by their first initial. Karmas are a different story. Whether I'm the donor or the winner, people I've never met have my last name and physical address, and I have theirs. I never have nor never will break that trust. I'd have smoke coming out of my ears if a karma resulted in my last name or physical address being posted.

Just having a good time |
If anyone checks my profile they can see that my full name is my email. So no I would not mind at all.  " I didn't fail the test,I just found 100 ways to do it wrong." - Benjamin Franklin | |||

Jim, I was just thinking about this. I was feeling rude that you don’t know my name but I know yours. Have a good weekend, Aragorn. | |||

I don't particularly care. It's not as if anybody who wanted to figure out who I was wouldn't be able to figure it out with a bit of amateur sleuthing. In the I.T. world there's a saying that goes something like "Security by obscurity is ineffective." I've never relied upon it. I don't go out of my way to advertise who I am. Neither do I go particularly far out of my way to hide it. "America is at that awkward stage.

EVERYONE has clearance to use my real name…Buck Naked. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

I share a name with a famous TV and movie character. I have pretty much heard it all. Seeing it here would be no surprise! End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

I tend to use their forum handle, I've had a few offline communications with members specifically ask not to publicly use their proper name. If I know their actual name, I may use just their first initial, but usually default to forum handle, unless their name's obvious from their handle. I've got a common enough first name [John] that I don't care either way. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

Twenty or thirty years ago I would have been upset. Today, I don't care for internet anonymity. I think everyone on every social media should have one and only one account directly identifying who they are. I'm sure some dangers go along with that, fiscally and physically, but I still believe it's the best way to keep people honest. Sort of like voter ID. There would be a lot less fuckery on the net if people only had one shot to get it right. First In Last Out | |||
