Blizzard to Force Real Names on Forums
August 24th, 2010, 10:28
First time you've had someone track you down using your real name off the forum and attempt to rob or kill you, you might change your tune. Given the harassment that females already get in-game, I shudder to think of what would happen had they been forced to give out their identity.There is already something called facebook, so what is the difference exactly?
Not that I would ever dream of using facebook………

So in short; there isn't much difference.

Yes, there is always a danger, but I think the odds are overstated, and they are certainly not limited to online exchanges.

You can get robbed or killed walking down the street, and most women have no shortage of harassment doing the same. I fail to see how putting your name online makes it worse. May as well live in a cave if you are going to worry about it.
