use an alias. please. make it impossible or at least very difficult to google your internet handle and find your workplace.

I use the name Shel Raphen. it's the same as my pen name for poetry. Googling Shel Raphen will never turn up my legal name. Shel *is* my real first name.

I heard you, don't worry, I'll cut this for a while because I'm afk for a few days and that's the only thing I can do from here, I'll take time to read/answer/address your comments when I'm back!
