However, I find it hypocritical to criticize Linda (or anyone else) for creating and hiding behind fictional characters...when that is exactly what you do.

You said "characters". There is nothing wrong in someone using an "ID" on a public forum. I have found that when I have communicated via PM with most individuals, names come out if one so chooses.
As was evidenced back in the fall of 2011, my fears were proven in that when Linda put out on a public forum, information and my name, my family was inundated with phone calls and to the point of two individuals showing up on my doorstep. Reason enough for me to use an ID.
Reason enough for me to continue to use my name as Mikado which in reality, is a nickname I have had for many years.
What Linda did was to create "sockpuppets" which is something entirely different and she used these sockpuppets to convey information for the writing of a biography.
Even your husband apparently found it distasteful in that he made youtube in regard to that very topic.
But then again, it is your opinion and I have just posted mine.
