There seems to be a theme running here.Again, the answer is "Deal with your mistakes"
You want respect in the "real world"? Too late, cyber is the real world today, you stand by your posts , man up , Admit they are yours and that is how you feel. Lies , games and concealment is futile and immature, only proving further your lack of judgment and your lack of accountability. A REAL MAN can stand up and say YES. I did that. . You are obviously at the mercy of your own lack of integrity. DaveR
Perhaps the best thing you can do now is to write a book about your experience. In this day and age it might be a best seller. Even if it isn't, perhaps you can turn a light on in the heads of some of these young idiots that post all sorts of stupid and demeaning stuff all over the net and live to regret it.
And don't think that just because you haven't posted anything under your real name that someone else hasn't. A search of the OPs name also brings up his FAA case on a law site. A search of my own name brings up all kinds of interesting things, some of them aren't me though.

Interesting. I see his facebook profile returned before PoA for him.
On the other hand (and while I agree with everything that's been said), the author could make a case for copyright infringement depending on how much of his post was quoted and depending on whether or not the reply in question criticized and commented on his original post. There's some case law now where even the act of providing commentary on someone else's writing can be construed as infringement....

My other me is a journalist for Bloomberg so she get a lot of hits but I hold my own with about a third of them. I learned something interesting about myself today too...
It is, and it isn't. A lot of it depends on how/what you quote, and where you reside....
My name is sadly quite unique. (Well, except for that punk rocker who is not me....)
I work for a major search engine. I know that if I post in a public forum, then what I say is public -- and connecting it back to me is usually not that hard, even if I try to post anonymously. So I just put my real name on posts, and hope that my posts today will drown out the postings I made on Usenet under my real name when I was 12 years old...
