No based on how the question was framed. If a response is "questionable" then I have to question whether or not I should make that questionable response.

Most of the time I post under my real name (actually, I don't know why I'm using a pseudonym on HN, frankly, just reflex when I first joined).

The exceptions are: Discussions on Politics or Religion. I don't want my name associated with any religious (or atheist) group nor do I want it associated with any particular political party. I have worked for people that once they discovered my political views, I was treated differently because we either agreed or disagreed. I know that my name is going to be googled the next time I apply for a job and could run into someone who will toss out my resume simply because I'm conservative, liberal or other.

If a site is overly political, or it's associated with a political cause, I will always keep only one ID on that site. If the site allows anonymous posting, I'll use my real name and post anonymously when broaching a subject that is controversial. If the site does not allow anonymous posting, I'll keep two IDs handy for when I want to join into discussions that would identify my political or (non/religious) affiliation.
