Dear Jill, I find your conclusion to be presumptuous and a violation of my First Amendment Rights to freedom of expression. I am an artist and have maintained my identity as “pinkbunny” for nearly 20 years. It is not a misrepresentation of who I am and none of my “real life” friends are unfamiliar with that identity. I own the website pinkbunny.info and have multiple social network accounts with that same identity. I also feel that I was singled out unfairly, as I noticed a great many accounts with obvious “nicknames” which have been allowed to stay in use for quite some time. Unless you can find real evidence that proves I “damaged the integrity” of your website then your claims against me are egregiously unfounded.
