I was originally SDTheatreBill when I was posting reviews of shows I saw to the (late, lamented) West Coast board. I didn't want the local companies to know who I was. One manager figured it out and then encouraged me to write for publication. After I became a TB Regional reviewer, I started posting under my real name, as there was no longer a reason to keep my identity hidden.
By the way, I very occasionally get an offline comment about a review, but I have never felt harassed by having my identity known here. That may be because I only write about theatre; I'm not employed in it.
