in fact.... WG got a lot of shit for being mormon at one time ppl somehow found his real name and exploited his FB and whatever else (someone got phone calls but inthibk that was mafioso)
While many may have figured it out anyway since I'm from Utah, in hindsight I shouldn't have been so forward with that information. But people will recall how much where somebody is from came up in old arguments back on the RD forum.
My real name was found out because it's in my email. Somebody with access to it on the RD (like a mod) gave it to some people. From there, a quick search could find me on Facebook.
The thing is, aside from it being slightly annoying and petty, it didn't have the effect on me I think they were hoping. Some of them were trying to get me to stop posting or they'd reveal who I was. But I had nothing to hide. I always thought it was those that misrepresented themselves, like pic/Lenehan, that should be concerned about being exposed.
Anyway, to their credit, a couple people later apologized for the whole thing. Just shows how crazy things got for a while on the old forum. I don't hold any hard feelings.
And, for the record, it was mafioso that got phone calls, if I remember right. From Maggio/whitemale? Their fights were legendary.
