I think I agree with mr-hire that this doesn’t seem right to me. The site is already public and will turn up when people search your name—or your blog name, in my case—or the idea you’re trying to explain.
I don’t especially care whether people use their real names or pseudonyms here. If people feel uncomfortable making their work more accessible under their real names, they can use a pseudonym. I suppose there’s a perceived difference in professionalism or skin in the game (am I characterizing the motive correctly?), but we’re all here for the ideas anyways, right?
The “real name” issue is only one part of one of the points I made. Even if you reject that part entirely, what do you say to the rest?

This is not a realistic view, but, again, I am content to let it slide. By no means is it the whole or even most of the reasons for my view.
