Honestly, having seen how it can be used against you, retroactively, I would never ever engage in a discussion under my real name.

This is a subset of "I don't have anything to hide" argument - if we use our real names, I think we'll have more responsibility about what we say. Of course, that's assuming our seemingly democratic governments don't turn authoritarian all of a sudden, as a Turkish citizen, I know that's not a given.
