My situation is now irrelevant because Auggie fixed the problem. However, I think you may be misreading the situation that occurred. I have a twitter account with my real name. I have a Fluther account with an assumed name. I asked a very, very similar question in both places and moments later, two posts appeared in the twitter-stream, one had my real name and one had my Fluther ID and they appeared one on top of the other. You would have had to be pretty dumb not to realise they were from the same person. I don’t want the world to be able to make that connection. I have to have a Twitter account with my real name for professional reasons. I like using Fluther but I don’t want the world to know I post here.
I, and obviously a number of other people, were not aware of Fluther’s Twitter feed. Had I known about it, I wouldn’t have asked the question on Fluther.
Furthermore, sometimes people ask things here they don’t want to appear outside of Fluther because they could be identified. That is why some people don’t mention to others that they even have an account here. People talk about things that are fairly sensitive. They might not be happy to then see their question, that they thought was only posted here, out there in the Twitterverse.
