How to change posting name using facebook connect?
I've posted a few comments using facebook connect, not realizing that my full name would be published and indexed by google (my name is quite uncommon, it's within the first few hits). How do I change it so that it only displays my first name? When I go to the profile settings page, my name is grayed out, and I can't change the name displayed to post on facebook, or on lifehacker. Is there a way that I can or change the name displayed? I'd opt for having them removed, too, but I just found out that's against the TOS.
Honestly, for someone who does so many articles on "internet privacy" lifehacker is worse than facebook with holding on to personal data.

Inappropriate?Furthermore, I never agreed to Gawker's TOS, there was never a checkbox for me to check saying that I read and agreed to the TOS.
After changing my name and display picture on facebook, the picture updated on the lifehacker comments page, but not the name.
Yes, I realize it's in the TOS, but a. I never agreed, and b. I only ask to have the name changed to something less identifiable.
I would also be satisfied with having the posts deleted (there are only 5). I do not care about the profile being banned.

Inappropriate?I say make up a new account, and let the comments you made be your audition. If you don't have enough or high enough quality comments, hide them until you do. When you do, they could change the 'ownership' of those comments to the new ID, or give us the option to repost them as the new ID and delete the old ones.
