Initials instead of Names?

Is it just me or are people not proud of who they are on RP? I see more and more people changing their names to their Initials.

Is it because you are worried that you may receive negative action for expressing your opinion?
Maybe because you don't trust yourself to be Respectful and courteous?

Why join a Professional Forum if you are going to hide who you are?

Maybe it's some peoples way of being "anonymous" so their command don't see them on here? I don't really know. I have seen it becoming more and more of a trend myself and can't really figure out why. Like I said on a different forum, take pride in who you are and what you say. If you're not proud of who you are or what you're saying then you probably shouldn't be saying it, or even on Rally Point for that matter.

I agree with SSG Mitchell because we have all seen the craziness of SOME of our younger troops. And there is a lot that can go wrong. One slip up and your name is ubiquitously recorded for all time.
