Not really...their reasons for wanting real names on Wikipedia don't really
have relevance to WR or, in fact, any web discussion forum.
They think people should be personally responsible for what they write
about other people. They believe that hiding behind pseudonyms is
damaging because it removes personal responsibility and
accountability.
And yet they write some very damaging things, including stuff that is
offensive and some that is libellous, about Wikipedia editors.
I feel that if the person doing that is hiding behind a pseudonym,
they are a hypocrite.
