Why do chess players hide behind avatars and false profiles?

Wait... Did we find out why people choose to express their interests, likes, hobbies in the form of avatars yet?

Like this account...? http://www.chess.com/members/view/Redmi_1S 

Anyone who can identify this "guy" will get a trophy from me (it's very easy). I called him out and got blocked. :)

Hint: He was spamming the chat with his games in Live Chess.

lol That's true. Is this the guy you're talking about? http://www.chess.com/livechess/game?id=721675240 His account is closed but I can understand this coz he has hundreds of accounts. I know him by his original username. So, please verify this so that I can send you the trophy. Thanks! :)

Whatever.

I woke with this avatar after listening to the "Live Dead" version of "Dark Star" while staring at a lava lamp...and that's all I can remember.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger!  I just asked a question, I really want to know, so far I have not even come close to getting an intelligent answer!  @Prudentia I am now wondering why you have come across so hostile, is the question I asked a bit close to the bone?     

How about this: we are on the Internet not real life.  I'm not a Boogeyman who kidnapped Santa Clause in real life (or am I...) for example.  

"Why does it matter, anyway? This is my TRUE profile, I am December Twentynine and had a REAL nice 13th anniversary celebration a few days ago. And look at me, I'm some girl with pink hair...and yes I like the color pink. So nothing false here..."

I wanna collect a Vanille from Final Fantasy XIII Funko speaking of which ^_^ But I can't find any... :(  I do like my Luka Funko, she radiates such confidence ^_^

I like his avatar. So what if It's a guy posing as a woman? Why I should anyone give a fuck. Maybe he likes women? Can't knock a guy for liking women.........?

You mean why should anyone give a crap!  There are childrens (intentionally using bad English here) on this site for crying out loud... :D

Just making fun of people who get offended over swearing is all.
