Say something against queers or Muslims and they might burn your house down. (They (queers) tried doing something like that with me some years back.)
If you want to really test how good of an idea it is to use your real name, just attract the attention of queers or Muslims. If you P*ss off the right ones, they will come after you with violence.
Oh I have personal experience with violent leftists. When I eas Senior Ed at Off-Road.com I had the Animal Liberation Front circulate actual wanted posters of me and had them follow me dozens of miles into the Mohave Desert off-road snapping pix of myself and daughter.
These are people that regularly burn down BLM and other facilities long before resorting to actual calls for death so I am speaking from experience. I had people from the Vegas area BLM tell me to back off for my own safety.
Didn’t stop me. It did ramp up my editorials against radical environmentalists though. So I HAVE put my ass where my mouth is.
