You can 'just leave' pseudonymous communities because their aggregated judgment doesn't follow you to the next one. But if one's real identity is flagged as "(likely) sociopath" on a Real Name service, how does one 'just leave' that determination behind?
Are search engines and archives going to all willingly 'forget' that data when you 'just leave' Facebook? Are they going to not aggregate and correlate it to any new service you join?
This is one of the huge points of criticism of Real-Name-required services: a person can never escape an unjust judgment of such communities, due the long memory of the internet.
