Iirc correctly you wrote in an earlier thread that you were concerned with 'attention of a certain kind', so I really respect you for taking that risk.
Correct (and good memory -- that was quite a while ago). Also a reason to use my handle as a primary name and put my real one behind a clickthrough.
That was also more of a concern when I was younger (and in gaming contexts -- hence a slightly fractured identity). These days I am confident in my ability to defend myself socially and physically.
It's long ago and I may misremember.
