By using your own name, you are putting yourself on the line a bit more. For me, I feel this is good regulator of what I write.
i'd spout **** anonymous or not, my username is the same as a main email account i use, so anyone stumbling across this forum that knew that info could probably figure out who i was
as for changing a username to avoid detractors, well, there are cowards every where
i also don't want people to find me unless i want to be found, one of the problems with facebook is the people that come out of the wood work (classmates, workmates etc) and want to be your friend, guess what, if i had wanted to talk with you we'd have remained in touch not ignored each other for 30+ years until some magic of technology made fake nostalgia possible
luckily, i must have been reprehensible enough throughout my life that few folks from my past have bothered to search me out on facebook
