If your name is displayed, what does that tell people? That you play a game? Only if you misbehave will this reflect badly on you. It's not as if they give away your address and all kinds of personal info. Your name probably is also available in the telephone book. The only new information this gives outsiders is that a certain person plays a game. If employers object to that, wow... I don't even want to work for jerks who don't want their employees to play games. But if that's the reason they deny an application, here you would get your ass sued.
Perhaps this is a step in the direction of a more honest, polite internet.
I would agree except for the fact that all it took was one Blue poster throwing his real name into the mix - 5 minutes later people had his address, educational history, parents names, phone number, age, etc.
In an age of electronic crime I really dont think this is Blizzard's most responsible idea.
