I agree in part, but I also see the value of some level of protection / privacy of personal information. For instance, some people work in fields where they must ensure adequate professional boundaries between themselves and the clients / patients they work with (eg healthcare). As such, they need to keep a close eye on their online footprint to protect their personal lives and in case a patient searches for information that may be then create an issue or even damage a therapeutic relationship.

I like the system at the moment where you must have an account to view a persons profile details but would not support having a persons name or full name available for anyone to see. I do agree that total anonymity is not necessarily conducive to a cohesive community so perhaps there is room for change but I would stress that there needs to be an allowance for members to use their discretion as to what information they make available.
