I agree with you Steve, but Science Duck does have a lot of very good post, I'd be curious as to why he fears publishing his name.    He is not a torch thrower, he generally does not use personal insults. 

Most of us have lost our temper on occasion and written something we wish we hadn't.   We have some writers that get their kicks out of getting away with being insulting free of normal repercussion - I just hate to reward them with responses.   

I try to leave those writers a like Science Duck  to their own choice, but would still like to encourage them to use their name.   This site could be used to build local relationship for those with community interest, names would give support that kind of civic behavior.
