Spammers are usually the ones who talk about other people being

I don't use my real name on worldwide public forums, because I'm
not selling anything and because I don't want assholes I've never
met or wouldn't want to meet to call me by my real name. And for
the same reason truck drivers use a handle when talking over a CB
radio.

Interesting... "I don't want assholes I've never met or wouldn't want

The real reason is that he's a coward. Obviously he uses the cloak of
anonymity to say things online that he wouldn't dare to say face-to-face, and
he clearly fears using his real name for the same reason.
