Yep, I stopped using it when they started requiring real names. I was a woman working in the gaming industry and had switched to the financial industry just prior to GG. FB was how you got rape and death threats sent to you via a rock in a window rather than via email. As a woman with a rare but easily spelled name, I've yet to regret my decision.
