When I saw your article title and subtitle hit our queue I got angry and decided I would publish it immediately just so I could tell you how ignorant and judgmental you are. Then I read the article and no longer feel that way. I will point out though that some here use pen names because they have stalkers and some live places where not using a pen name could subject them to imprisonment or worse and you might edit your story to acknowledge that. My "pen" name is actually my soul's universal name. I have disclosed my full name, Gregory Maidman, in a few stories and I don't use Marcus to hide, in fact I beg my friends and family to read my stories, even gave many gift memberships, oft to little avail. I had thought of changing my legal name to Gregory Marcus but it seems more hassle than it's worth
