I don't think using a psuedonymn is being 'untruthful' at all. Unless you're making huge claims and need to prove credibility, or are asked to provide your name and lie, I don't think it's nescessary to give your real name. Many people could be persecuted for their views expressed on here (professionally, and legally).

Many people (as this thread has shown) are more than willing to give their real names, locations, etc. Fact is, is someone is determined they can find out anything about anybody so there's really no such thing as 'hiding'- especially on an internet forum. The reason I won't give my name isn't to 'protect' me personally- that's all I'll say.

I think most of us don't have delusions of grandeur and think that the PTB are paying attention to us individually, or at least not on the level that is easy to think. At least I don't, I know I'm not that important.
