Interesting perspective, seabreeze. Earlier the question had me wondering if anonymity had any valid place. It irks me when it's used by cowards as a shield. However, you may have a point.
Maybe the context matters: if someone is stating their actual opinions or things they regard as facts, then absent other knowledge of them I'd trust their motives more if they do so under their real name, and grant them more credibility thereby. But if someone is writing fiction, or poetry, or maybe weaving a spell - and readers can be assumed to understand so - then why not a nom de plume?
Anyway, on boards like this, if someone signs their real name, as Karl does, I tend to use it; otherwise I employ their username.
