It is very generous of you, as a white, presumably Christian* heterosexual male living in a Five-Eyes member nation, to assert on behalf of society that no one could possibly have a legitimate reason to keep their personal details and correspondence away from you, or your government.

If no one has anything to hide, no one has anything to fear, right?

*I haven't seen any mention of your religion on the public profiles I've discovered yet. Indeed, almost everything i've seen relates to your programming work. How are we as a community to decide if you're worthy of trust if you don't disclose more personal information about your political views, family, finances, religion? What are you trying to hide? Why are you trying to deceive us?



That being said, while I am against real name policies, I do want to make anonymity unnecessary most of the time however.
