Spammers are usually the ones who talk about other people being
anonymous. If you are trying to sell something, you need to act
genuine (even though you might easily be a crook).

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
to meet to call me by my real name".

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.
