Similar to racial profiling, I find myself expecting, well, stoopid posts from people who can't even put in their real name or some sort of cutsey handle when signing up. Is that bad?
And if this post is too stoopid to bother replying to, then don't.

Are you saying my handle is cute?

Be careful what you say to him. He strikes me as the kind who doesn't bother to call 911

He dials while the gun barrel cools...

Shoot first, dial second.

Nope, I expect stupid posts from people who do put in their real name or some sort of cutsey handle when signing up as well.
Especially if the handle implies they are ÜberCoderz

I am a private person. Is it bad that I don't want the world out their to know my real name?
You are safe using your real name as long as you don't attach any comments/posts to that real name, that may hurt you in the future (i.e. political, religious, or possibly offensive).
This could also hurt you when looking for work. All I have to do is Google Marc Clifton, and I can see everything you posted publicly. This is fine for you as long as you are not offending anyone.
With all that said, I have posted too many offensive and stupid things here, in the past, and by changing my handle to my real name "would" hurt me.

And who's to say that is his real name anyway? 
Just because someone uses what looks like a real name does not mean it is their real name. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

No, I was just noticing how people who use the default username seem to ask, well, the default questions, as it were.

Ah, I see.
I guess they are people who don't plan on coming back to the site, or have a different sense of individuality, I guess.

That's why I use your name.

Conditional probability is not a bad thing. Nor is it a good thing. It's just knowledge.
