But say I was a turd and didn't want to put down my name on a form that didn't include a pseudonym space.
I'd treat "Matthew Mishalak" as the name to put in the "name" space on the form in this case.
No one asks for ID when a person pays by cash at the door. I've done that a few times.
You'll get no complaint from me about this. Besides, you're not being anti-social by hiding behind a non-use name.
It may sound otherwise, but I've objected to conventions demanding government-issued photo ID even when the person at the registration desk knows me personally. This is done "to be fair and impartial," but it's stupid and loses track of what the purpose of the ID check is for. For a pre-registered member, it's to confirm that you are who you say you are and can pick up the member's materials. If the registration desk person (or someone of authority at Registration) knows who I am, there's no need to request photo ID. (Note that if the reg staff don't know me, I don't balk at showing something to establish my credentials.)
