Anyone who uses their real name - especially both their first and last - out here is a fool. It's a dangerous world, people have been stalked by people from the internet.

Yeah, no shit. And some of us have jobs or businsses that might suffer if it were widely known we were part of the anti-fundie underground. A lot of the country _is_ Christian, after all.

There are some of us here who know one another's real identities; those who have contacts with one another outside the board. There are also a few who post with their real first names, or variations thereof; but as long as they keep their last names off the board, I'd say they're safe. I've often thought Kevin was either brave or foolish to post with his full real name; there are nutjobs who could easily track him down.
