Basically, what I’m saying is that none of this is anything new. It’s just so much more intense since social media platforms like @Twitter, @Facebook, @instagram, etc., came into being.

My standard advice to those starting out and trying to remain anonymous is this. Unless you pseudonym is bulletproof, with no way to link it to your real identity you will eventually be outed if you are effective. (If you’re not effective, no one will go to the trouble.)

You have to be prepared for this. Indeed, sometimes even if your ‘nym is seemingly bulletproof, cranks will figure out who you are.

@gorskon Im sorry that happened to you, and I appreciate your relentlessness even a decade and a half later, continuing to strive for what is good and to make the world a better place. Thank you. -
Thanks. In a perverse way, the idiot did me a favor. No longer worrying about staying anonymous was liberating. I realize, though, that as an academic I has a great deal of privilege protecting me through academic freedom and freedom of speech in university culture.

And that is privilege that many do not have.

Respectful Insolence? I remember that happening in quasi-real time. It was an important lesson for a college freshman to learn.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
