[QUOTE="Geek, post: 2576224, member: 246624"] This is about Google's policy of only allowing "real" names for participants on Google+. Before I go into why this is evil, I want to point out without providing any details that I've already spotted dozens of pseudonymous people on Google+ that Google+ authorities have missed. So, their policy, as implemented, is absurd to a level that should be embarrassing if the people who run Goolge+ have that emotion. I sense that they do, and I sense that they are in fact rather embarrassed. I'm confident that Google+ will change its policy shortly. In the meantime, this comentary is for people like [URL="http://www.dsr.kvl.dk/~benno/"]Benno Hansen[/URL] who said "Activities that need anonymity will produce the demand for anonymous sites....With anonymity there is no accountability. People should grow up and treat each other properly, using their real names."
