Business sense, anonymity and pissmatches

This board has a lot of piss matches, and in a quite a lot of them people will participate who do not disclose their true identity or websites/programs.
Now, every once in a while some assmonkey will crawl out and start calling that person a pussy or a wimp because of that. Obviously, assmonkeys like that lack a clue. Here's a little something to fill them in:

There are several reasons one can have to read/post on this board. Major ones are getting connections, promoting your products, getting entertainment, learning about the industry, staying updated on the industry or a combination of any of the above.
Now, unless you are interested in getting/maintaining connections or promoting your products, revealing your identity serves no purpose whatsoever.
If you are engaging in piss matches, however, revealing your identity can and will damage your business. Few people want to do business with morons or assholes, and whatever side you are on, some will consider you a moron or an asshole if you disagree with them.

So, answer it for yourself: Who are the people with the best business sense, the ones revealing their identity without benefitting from it whatsoever, but rather damaging their business doing so, or the ones who stay anonymous for the most part and manage not to hurt their business by being on this board?

(ofcourse, it's a different matter altogether if you are here representing or promoting a product aside from seeking entertainment and such)
