Possible Incognito function?

A suggestion I have for you is to offer an "incognito" function for the forums.  For several years I used an alias before deciding to open a real account.  I really enjoy my account and meeting investors from all over the country, but have had some problems.  One unstable tenant I evicted found a post I wrote about him (I didn't give his name or location, but he figured it out).  Another time, the town lunatic targeted me because I called myself a real estate investor on BP (I'm on the local planning board, but am not a developer).  Sometimes I'd like to ask a question regarding the legality of an issue, but don't want to be implicated in anything, so  I stick to non-controversial topics.

I know, having people's real names out there makes them behave (or it should).  Heck, I don't even know if the technology exists to do this.  However, I think having the option could foster more frank discussions.

 Thanks for all you do!
