Yea, but there are people in the world who must keep their identity
hidden for one reason or another. Ever think of that? Not saying I need
to but am saying it is just wrong to enforce the using of real names. If
you can't see why it is wrong then you need to wake up and smell the coffee.

Give us some examples of someone who needs to keep their ID a secret.

I guess if someone worked for the CIA or something it would be an issue, but
I am sure that they would be able to get access to a credit card under
another name if they wanted......:-). I really don't think iRacing is
targeting that market much anyway.....:-)

You're absurd non-argument ("for one reason or another" - oh yea. I'm
convinced) would apply to ANY activity. I guess that you can tell me
of real race drivers or athletes who compete under a nickname?

You're simply whining that people want to stay anonymous in the cyber-
world. Fine go ahead, but iRacing is a step between a virtual world
and real world.

If you can't see why people sometimes need to be accountable, wake up
and smell the coffee.

Off the top of my head, George Bush.

You assume all of them are not gamers. I think you assume wrong. They are
just people with the same likes and desires as anyone else. Even Britney
Spears ahs to wipe her ass after taking a dump.

Anyone who thinks the internet is a warm and fuzzy place and there are no
dangers to divulging your real name online is a complete ****ing idiot.
There are some people who would be alive today if they were not so naive as
to divulge their identity online. Get a clue moron.

BTW, plowprick, I've just been sent a questionnaire from iRacing, so they
clearly think there is be room for improvement that may lead to them
collection more money, even if a complete **** like you doesn't.

You're incredibly paranoid. This might have happened, what, one time
out of 50 million? People get seen in public all the time. Don't you
think someone can follow you home from a restaurant? Or do you sneak
out the back door of every public building?

No point in this argument as this name calling and profanity pretty
much IDs you as an immature child, chronologically or mentally.

.........or how about off the top of his head with a flying shoe?

So anyway, if Georgy Peorgy went iRacing, apart from the probable
humiliation of his hopeless incompetence as a simmer, what would be the big
danger? And as Ed pointed out (which is what my question was leading to
anyway), would it be hard for George to arrange a fake ID? Come to think of
it...................
