I don't consider myself a representative of my corp when i'm ****ing around on the forums, and quite frankly, neither do StateCorp. I think they're secretly glad about all the new reds i find them.
That said, i do make an effort not to disparage whole alliances/corps, or bring in-game events to the forum. Not because i'm worried they'll shoot me more, but because it makes you look like a bit of a *****.
Personally I think lots of people take Eve far too seriously. Even if you spend hundreds of dollars a year, neglect whatever remaining IRL friends you have and command fear and respect galaxy-wide, it's still only a computer game and you're still just a slightly nerdy meatbag sat in front of a computer.
Hell, All it takes is for the XML character stats bobbins to go down and all of a sudden OFMG THE SKY IS FALLING!

What I'm saying is that if you want your opinion to be considered valid by others, if you want to have credibility in a discussion, you have to post with your main.
That's subjective, tbh.

What has the supermarket or RL information to do with this again?
If you think my statement is false then give me a good example of how it is false without using the supermarket as an example, please.
you're not seeing it. lets look at this another way - somebody makes a post about drone orbit speeds. Their post is well thought out, makes perfect sense, but they're using an alt. So naturally you are enraged and tell them that their opinion doesn't matter because they don't have the balls to post with their main.
why the **** do you have any right to know the character name of somebody expressing an opinion on drone orbit speeds. what has their character got to do with it?
sod all.

I'm really not. why is posting with an alt a bad thing?
The Eve forums are not part of the game, they are just forums where people who play Eve Online can chat about the game. The only real connection between the game and the forums is that you need an account to use them. We could be doing this on any forum under any usernames and it wouldn't make a blind bit of difference.
There are exceptions, obviously, in something like CAOD there is an element of roleplay going on, and the no alts rule helps prevent any confusion over who is announcing what exactly. not to mention stopping some of the smackers.
Furry muff, yeah? but that dosen't extend to every forum.
In the Skills forum somebody might not want to reveal which skills their main actually has, and to be honest there is no reason why they should be forced to reveal who is asking what the quickest root to a titan is. In the Ship Setup forums it's plainly obvious why somebody might use an alt to avoid revealing what they fly and how they set up their ships. Similar thing going on in Market. etc.
So, with the possible exception of the RP forums, there are some very good reasons not to post with your main which go beyond cowardice or some burning desire to insult people anonymously.
However i can't think of a single reason to force people to post with their main, apart from killboard quoting epeen development, and to be honest neither have you.

How is the content of a post about the orbit speed of drones relevant when your talking about changing the author over from main to alt, its not important since nothing changes.
The thing that is important is why would you post this with an alt?
rather than just repeating "but why post it with an alt?" over and over, can you think of a single reason why people should be forced to always post with their 'main'?

I dont mind if people post with alts, but if your not willing to backup your word with everything that you have within this community then you have a problem.
eh? what are you talking about?
i'll always defend my opinion to the hilt, but how does 'everything i have within this community', by which i assume you mean the ships i fly in-game, the contents of my in-game wallet and any other in-game bizzle, have any relevance to general forum chit chat?
Are you a roleplayer? are you roleplaying now? otherwise i think you're taking your involvement with Eve Online to a slightly unhealthy level.
Q: My opinions on Coco-pops are a little extreme for most people. They just can't handle them. does this mean i should take to eve-mailing and KoSing anybody who can't comprehend the all-consuming inferno of the passionate love i feel for coco-pops?
A: NO! That would be ******* mental!
