   Noticing another surge of people joining programming groups using names like "XXX Legolas XXX" again, instead of their own names.

   I put this on my (very old at this point) "Things I Learnt the Hard Way" as "own your shit".

     @juliobiason I disagree, I wish I had kept my pseudo-anonymity. Can't really feasibly reinstate it while keeping my connections. Silly names give an impression of course, but there is definitely a space for screen names.

     Yes, cross site profiling is good enough that that's just pseudonymity, but I've had a couple instances of drive by haters circumventing blocks to tell me off in other platforms, and I'm not even someone to voice controversial opinions. And the scammers, oh the scammers.

     It's flattering of course that someone would take time off their day to trace someone down to complain about my videogame or programming preferences, but it would be nice if it didn't happen.
