<p>Not controversial - but sometimes intensely personal. I haven’t found it hurt the discussions on CC. If anything it enhanced the trust as it allows people to put a real name and contact info behind the pseudonyms. For the most part the crux of the topics remained active on the public site.

Hence we warn people to limit what details they provide in the open for safety and privacy reasons.</p>
