    If I submit a comment, my real name will be attached to it and shown to the world in perpetuity. That doesn’t seem safe.

      It’s a public comment that you’re submitting on a federal site, yes, so that’s the judgement you need to make for yourself.

      I personally don’t have a problem putting my name behind my words in this instance, but if you’re concerned about digital information being available there is an option to send a hard copy instead.

        Sending a hard copy will still result in my real name being attached.

        The last thing I need is to be harassed or worse by someone who thinks I’m a child abuser because I’m opposed to an initiative for “protecting” children. By submitting a comment, I’m putting myself on a list.
