B> posts with my REAL NAME would be on the Internet.  I actually felt violated

Oh, good Lord.  Your REAL NAME on the internet.   Not like there isn't 200000 
John Smith's out there.  Come on.

B> and pissed off, and found this very, very poor form.  No, the argument that 
B> is the "Internet" doesn't hold.  I rarely take part in FidoNet as a result,
B> and I'm skeptical of posting here.

Then leave.  No one wants a cry baby that wants to stay hidden because they 
are hiding something or doing something illegal.

B> I see potential, but we need to to be accommodative of new social mores and
B> expectations, and set a high standard.
 

Dude, this is a BBS ... you knew what was expected in 1993.  NOTHING has 
changed.  Only the stupid mindset of people since then.  All the ones now 
want to run and hide.

I had to laugh watching Star Trek Picard the other day.  They spoofed a scene 
from Star Trek 4 when they were on a bus (1986) and some burly thug was 
playing some rap/death music on the bus.  Spock had to volcan pinch him out
to turn it off because he wouldn't after being asked.  In Picard (when they
went back to 2024) the same scene almost, and the thug was asked to turn off 
the crap music on the bus.  He was like oh yeah, sorry, sorry, didn't mean to 
offend you, I just like the song, and then turned it off.

That's how society is today, a bunch of cry babies and people who HIDE from 
everything.  Even the most dumbest thing int he world like having your REAL 
NAME on the internet.  Seriously?!   Grow up.
