Well, some people talk to themselves and I wouldn't want them to jabber
gibberish. OTOH, some believe that all reality exists only inside their
heads so the scope of any verbality becomes problematic in such cases.

Actually, no, it's made-up. Although many use their real names on forums
like this, I just prefer to use a handle, albeit a "permanent" one. For
one thing, it helps limit situations such as occurred in a thread above
where somebody gets a grudge and starts posting your private information,
etc. I tend to say controversial things and don't need some moron taking
me over-seriously and trying to "get even" or whatever. Furthermore, I
don't particularly like my real name; it's not something I would have
chosen and I've even thought of changing it (but didn't 'cause I was too
lazy.) There are valid reasons for establishing a bonafide identity, and
although I employ a nom-de-plume, I think I have nevertheless done that.
This concept is actually mostly why I changed back from "Bone Ur".
