Hiding behind a pseudonym implies that there are compelling reasons to hide.

If one can truly do whatever they want on their computer, whenever, then I don't see any compelling reason to hide.

Do you shut the door when you shit?

Is it because you have something to hide?

Yes?

Most people have a sense of modesty…

My pseudonym is due to my overactive sense of modesty

Modesty in relation to what?

On the toilet it's clear a person can expose themselves to by-passers if the door is open, but I can't think of a similar taboo on HN, or even internet forums in general.
