Well, not really.
I use a nom de plume. My name isn't really Jovian. Not because I want to be anonymously rude to folks and get away with it. Not because I don't stand by my statement 100%. Not because I am worried that in the future something I wrote in 2007 will come back to haunt me.
No, I do it because there are ignorant people out there. Ones that will take 2 plus 2 on my blog here (that I stand by 100%) and come up with a sum of 43. Just one HR person that is a hoplophobe could kibosh my employment because they have an irrational fear.
That's why I don't use my real name. It's not because I am ashamed of anything.
Another reason? With my real name a burglar that knows I have a firearm or two could do a cursory search to find my home address. Also less than an optimal situation, no?
Forget burglars, I don't want some of my more worshipful groupies camping out on my lawn waiting for a chance to get a glimpse of me.
You forgot the statist gummint agents coming for your firearms, with nary a warrant.
ReplyDeleteBecause they can.
Or did you?
