====Difficulties====
One former contributor has cut down editing due to that user's real name being revealed on [[RationalWikiWiki]] which is closely connected with RationalWiki.  Repeated requests to remove the information were refused. There are people who could have real big problems with their employers, with their families, with political or religious <s>nuts</s> zealots in their area if their real names came out. Since many of the same people edit RationalWiki and Rationalwikiwiki the best way to avoid that type of trouble is to choose an untraceable username.
