Bashiok posted his real name.
Soon after his personal information including address and family members was posted for all to see.
The twist?
It isn't actually him.
The question?
Will the people who harass this guy care that it's not Bashiok?

We all know this is the worst idea ever.

I'm hoping the community response at large will change plans. Go post our opinions.

So if you meet me have some courtesy, have some sympathy and some taste. Use all your well-learned politesse or I'll lay your soul to waste.

I'm going to be charitable and reckon it's just a side effect of all the cocaine trapped in the weave of all the $100 notes they've obviously been smoking.

Far-fetched, I know. But for the life of me I cannot imagine an actual reason for implementing this is it is in fact real, and not an elaborate troll by the blues.

I stole Macmoran's idea. I cancelled my subscription. If this goes through before it expires at the end of September, well, I'll have IRC.
Glad I decided to come to Feathermeet this year.

I don't mind, Yva.
Shad, I now sincerely hope even MORE that this does not go through. I would miss you and your characters from WoW, though at least I'll be able to see you at Feathermeet.
