    Because they do not want to be harassed by trolls

    Truth:  There are a lot of trolls in the section, posting the exact same BS multiple times a day.  If they did not post anonymously, then, when their abuses are legitimately reported, they won't lose their accounts.  (Posted anonymously because I love the irony).

    The whole internet experience invites anonymity. You really think my name is Alexander, don't you?

    Because they often don’t want their profile stuff obvious especially when they talk about personal stuff.. it not stuff they want their family to see if they went on here. But i could imagine most people on this site don’t use their real names and I don’t blame them.

    They like to keep their identity private and it is not up to us to "out" them.

    For the most part I've remained anonymous because of the hate comments that I have experienced when I use by name.  Even people who use names like "Claude have Mercy" are anonymous - with all due respect.  Not too many people use even their real first names.  The Internet is notorious for comments that would probably never be made if one's real identity were attached to it.  There is so much hate and vitriol on the Internet that people don't use their real names.

    There probably aren't very many. From what I've seen on this entire site, the vast majority of people hiding behind the "Anonymous" label are simple rabble rousers trying to irritate people. They aren't actually what they claim to be.

    They may be afraid to come out.
