There was a time when Dril’s identity was leaked and we all just agreed to ignore that and mind our business as if it hadn’t happened and I think we owe Banksy at least that much.

@mhoye the information helps me in no way. I shall not be learning it, I shall avoid remembering any accidental encounter with this information. As with dril and _why.

The name on their government ID is not who they are.

@randomgeek @mhoye 100% agreed. It reminds me of the X-Men movie where Magneto asks Pyro what his name is, Pyro gives him his government name, and then Magneto says "No. What's your *real* name?"

The identity that you create for yourself is so much more meaningful than the one you were given.

@mhoye 110%
Not our business.
People can be very nosy.

The thread between reporting and tabloid is blurring here.

I can't believe Reuters supported this investigation. Shame on them.

@mhoye I’ve encountered Banksy’s name and promptly forgotten it several times over the years. It’s pretty easy to do.
@mhoye I have not heard from him in years. Well, since I left twitter. Is he still active?
@mhoye Same guy that does the EEVblog videos. Yep.
@mhoye dril is Banksy? Makes sense I guess
