The science of opinion ...

“So that your family, friends, co-workers, etc. know who you are, and interact with you?”

>>>>>All of which assumes they like the Brer Rabbit and Tar Baby routine of course. 🤡 Humor is subjective.

“Is your only social media purpose trolling the audio forums?”

>>>>>He’s still thinking about the question. 🤔

TBH, I have to join the Glupson camp on this one.
I do not use Farcebook, Twatter or any of the other "social media" merry go rounds.
Personally I have no desire to share my dirty laundry with the world.
Any of my family, friends, co-workers want to know anything they can pick up the phone and call me !

So why here then?

I for one never said this was the ONLY forum I frequent but I much prefer the topic specific ones like audio, Porsche, drag racing etc than wordwide nosey parker busy body type platforms.
Just me but I suspect I am not alone.

And I come here despite the trolls, silliness and hilarious at times posts to try and learn something new most times.

Which I have many days and have bettered my system because of these forums not in spite of them, IMHO.

And it is a great way to start the day with a good laugh!

That's great. I have nothing against people not using social media, like Facebook.

I was simply answering his question why I use my real name on facebook vs. a handle in forums. 

Thyname
Absolutely understand your post but I felt I needed to post my point of view and it was not intended as any slight to anyone.
Just my maybe out of date perspective on the subject.
