I've been questioned before why I blog semi-anonymously. I don't use my real name. I don't use the names of loved ones. I don't talk about where I live or where I work. I only give out enough information to effectively communicate my message.
Hugh at gapingvoid has unfortunately answered that question today. I suggest that any female blogger or future female blogger read his post and follow the links. Think about what happened and then take the precautions that you need to take to feel safe.

We know all to well about haters around here. There is inherent danger in having a character online (created by yourself or by the lies of others) that can be linked to personal offline information.
