Most of the time peoples names come out, in non-attacking threads.. An Admin make the adjustment, nobody cares... just like articles on our industry news sites, mistakes happen.


The name many of us call each other at shows, MANY people really, including myself... is not what our real legal names are. Some far more extreme than others. This is for sure semi-private information, private still being the keyword.

As well... some people have published rights on the full legal name being used in reference to the themselves, even more so if done in a negative way and without permission. This is why Celebs have the power they do with a shared name, it's very easy to do...

Point being... peoples names are much more private than you think.
