I have noticed that those who hide behind a fake name seem to let their inner sniveling out the most.

Look, you asked
I have never read your books nor your reviews or comments, so I was not speaking to your personal behaviour; I was speaking to the general topic of authors behaving with the kind of behaviour you describe. I do think it makes them sound amateurish and juvenile, and I don't think it is discourteous to say so.
As for the anonymity thing, I have a very unusual last name which I never, ever use on-line because it is traceable. I won't apologize for that, and I don't think it makes my opinion less valid or reasonable.
