I gave up caring what others think about me, the only one who cares in my book is the Lord! I use the same e-mail address and name for all my forums, except for those forums that don't allow two characters, then I use RR144.
Nothing bad has happened to me yet either. I do use my real name on most forums. I also use my real name in the papers and on TV. You know who I am. I will email you.
Years ago when I first got on the internet, I picked Roamingfeline as my handle in the very first chat room I ever went to. Then it was my handle on Philia, the very first ex-jw list I found and joined. It stuck until someone gave me the handle "Ms T" on Philia. After that, I used both, depending on my mood. As you know, when Wolfgang and I got together, I then became "LadyWolf". So actually, I have three handles but I haven't really hid who I am. It's easy enough to find out if you run in the same circle of friends.
