I used to, HN was one of the few public places I felt comfortable doing that. And I know my team and people I know are on HN too, so I better behave.
But then I still got slow-banned on that account without any given reason or recourse. That felt uncomfortably asymmetrical, to put my real identity out there and to then be secretly "punished" by an anonymous mod.
Since then I consider any account on HN to be a throwaway. I'm still open to being personally accountable, but only if it works both ways.
