> Is this true, or did most outraged (or just indifferent, but not excited) users really dislike the pseudonym policy itself?

I actually nuked my G+ account explicitly because of their pseudonym policy. When they started allowing pseudonyms a couple years back, you had to 'apply' for permission to use one. I tried adding mine, and it was denied with zero explanation or recourse. "Fuck you, Google!" I exclaimed...then I realized I was getting upset over an account on a worthless me-too that was probably not long for this world. Calmed down, nuked account, nothing of value was lost.
