Your ability to conceal your identity on Reddit, and in public forums in general, is an illusion. Your identity can be revealed by your writing, regardless if you use a nym or not.

Text analysis algorithms can detect and match you by your writing style and reveal characteristics about your personality that you have no idea you're leaking (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=the-secret-...). Even your use of pronouns provide clues. It's like your fingerprint, or your gate (http://www.cs.umd.edu/~chiraz/icpr02.pdf).
