Re: What, exactly, is 'free speech'
"This site knows my real name and e-mail address. Yours too, otherwise you wouldn't be able to post here."
They know a name, which I don't even think they checked looks at all like a name. Mine looks like a name. Do you think it's the one on my identifying paperwork? It might be. They didn't check. They also know an email address which could receive a verification link. Maybe it's mine, but I can set up emails without my name on them. Also, since I didn't forget my password, I haven't needed it since. They have no proof the address still exists. Or was ever mine. That's pseudonymity for you, which is usually enough for sites like this.
