My information is real. I also have a listed phone number. I'm quite easily findable by Web searching. I have controversial opinions on some issues, and used to be harassed at my home phone number and home address (different from today's address and phone number) a few times in the 1990s as a customer of a commercial online service, before most members of the general public used the Internet. I don't worry about it. I still stand up for what I believe and enjoy learning from people who disagree with me.
P.S. Yes, the information in my Hacker News profile is all genuine, and, yes, I don't mind all of you knowing that information. I sometimes check HN profiles if I want to know a person's basis for knowledge after I read a comment here on HN.
