Facebook's raison d'Ãtre is to provide a non-anonymous online forum. While plenty of people like me or whoever happens is reading this post, are happy to talk to "Anonymous Coward" or "donscarletti", there are many people who would rather not do that. Facebook is there for such people.
Many people I know have no Facebook profile whatsoever. I have a Facebook profile, on which I just share pictures from when I travel and sometimes write short updates about where I live and where I work. I do not write anything political, anything praising or criticising other people, anything showing me in an unfavourable light or anything I would not want strangers to see connected to my name. Many people I know post whatever pops into their head no matter how embarrassing since they don't believe in the need for anonymity. Whatever they do, they chose to do.
Facebook is the social network for those who do not like and are threatened by anonymity. Using an alias on Facebook is like wearing clothes in a nudist colony. Transgender people are welcome on Facebook, just like religious people are welcome in a nudist colony, but it cannot bend its rules for everyone's specific situation.
