Re: I still get nervous about all this.

Don't let anybody else's behaviour take you out of your comfort zone or make you feel you need to do something you don't want to do in order to "belong."

We have all made different choices ( and that includes our regular readers who lurk but don't post. )

The Antis aren't being courted by Media outlets hungry to give them publicity as much as they were a few years ago. So we don't see them as much. But they are still there. And they will make false claims and harass folks' friends, family, employers. They are taking screen-captures and compiling that dossier on "GC nick A"

But for the most part, there's no info they can use to "out" you that you don't provide yourself.

Are you discussing things here you post at non GL sites? Do you use the same nick at multiple sites. Do you make off-board contact with other posters too readily?

Myself, I don't have a lot of time to be online. I reduced what little activity I had elsewhere, and shrank my social-network profiles to non-existence. I regularly search for myself on the Web, and I find that without already knowing who I am, there's no connection w/ "Dante."
