Yeah - I get a lot of questions from people as to why I'd use a false name. And since blocking is a foreign concept to most people as having a stutter, even when I try to be open and upfront and own up to being a stutterer, I end up getting responses like "nah, man... you don't stutter at all!" ​ I mean, on the one hand, I'm grateful that my attempts to mask my stutter are so effective that a lot of people can't tell, but at the same time, it's equally frustrating to "out" myself in a moment of vulnerability and be called out like that.
