Yeah, and I find it funny how many people equated to the policy change being a harbinger of an onslaught of trolling.
Meanwhile I have at least three Google profiles, all with obvious (to me) fake names that I've used for a long time, since G+ ever asked me to merge my Google Mail with them.
I think they're latching onto the wrong aspect of social networks, identity, and such in their complaints.
The real issues are that there's no signifier for "verified" individuals (like on Amazon, maybe by way of Google Wallet?) and no way to limit +1s or comments to such users. I think that's the only way to really impose the feeling of non-anonymity on a user's comment or whatnot.
Also, some of the complainers are just idiots who don't understand how to use circles to restrict interactions or comments on their content... which sucks because I actually dig Google's model there.
