I need to clarify a little more about this. I was talking about the admin of the site. Already it becomes rare that it is easily accessible, even more rare, online.
Anecdote about it. My son who sees how I practice for years, asked me one day: "Hey dad, I'm not happy, it's very slow on Facebook, how should I do to join the admin? :-) He had made me laugh.
So I chose the option to be accessible from the beginning. But, up to 1000 members I had a personal profile with my photo, I was a man like another member. I quickly understood something. The human being accepts a remark from another man badly, even if he does it nicely.
For example, tell a member: "hey please, a little courtesy on the forums, no need to get upset." is misinterpreted.
So I created this character, smiling, and neutral. It is quite amazing, but with him, I can say everything and it often goes with a smile.
So, I did not do this at all to deceive people, but just it helps to relieve tensions when there is, it's much easier.
Even more surprising, people often attach this video to a message for me. "It takes little to be happy".Amazing is not it? I do not think it is immoral :-) Also it reminds a beautiful time when things were very different, it is probably another explanation.

Hahaha. Its exactly what I was talking about. People love candy, and with Baloo, you took a candy-name or candy-profile. We do it to achieve something. It is a deception, but in order to achieve what is needed, the deception is justified. In the social arena, there are many strategies. If you go to a bar, with the purpose of picking up a girl, then you choose a username, depending on what you think the girl wants(or is hungry for). This concept is described in many ways. I like to refer to it as clothing of different brands we wear. some wear [Buddhism] to look as if they are [good people] even though they have no idea what either [good] or [Buddhism] really is. But just wearing the brands gives an edge in social life. The more popular brands you wear, the more social popularity points you get. People are hungry for those points. Disney names do give good points. My username [pethol] is just my two names put together [PETer HOLmgren]. It has no meaning and no immediate associations. So I have to work harder for my social points, than someone named [Bambi] or [Baloo] or [Cinderella]...
Its the same when we choose a domain name. It has to have the desired effect to draw the hungry people.
