Some people
are very private in cyberspace going to great lengths to protect their real
identity.
They use clever internet names
and avatar photos when participating in internet discussion forums.
Then there
are people like me who are open books.
You know who we are and how to track us down if needed.
Some people
live in fear of the latter and I can understand why. For me, this fear is reciprocal because for
every “nut” who might want to track me down and do this or that to me is a “nut”
on the receiving end that might be harboring similar thoughts.
Reciprocal
fear keeps us honest and that’s the way it should be.
But every
now and then I do ponder if it’s time for me to go under cloak and dagger and
disappear from cyberspace as the Pierini character I’ve branded and flaunted to
those few souls knowing of me.
Maybe I’ll
change my cyberspace name and avatar and join the secret brigade of cyberspace
folks. This would allow me to mouth off more about stuff I dare not say otherwise.
I could freely share my private thoughts and opinions with all their
rough edges.
Maybe one
day I’ll do that. What would be a good
name and avatar for me to use?
How about
Adrian Anonymous?
