Outing: Are you nervous people know who you are?

Central Illinoisian's post on the top 10 moments thread where he said a top moment was not caring that he outed himself got me thinking.

This poll is actually sort of nice guy compared to my last couple. Enjoy.

 

I probably should have voted for the minor cog one, but I went with maybe.
If you really wanted to figure out who I was, you could probably do so, but I don't think I have posted anything extremely incriminating about myself.

 

Hell, Piotr, everyone knows you're Longshanks McGoohan.

 

There are so many outlets in this country, so many beats, somany coverage areas . . . . I think people who spend time trying to figure out who people are spend a lot of time tying their brains into knots.

EDIT: Very nice, Dooley. One of my top 10 moments should have been when someone actually noticed that I was the same dork who had been named a thousand different names here, most of which were hit-or-miss as far as humor goes. At least someone was paying attention.

 

I'm Cumly Stickyfingers from the Roswellsville Daily Martin.

 

I've outed myself several times. I've got no problem with people knowing who I am and where I work. Sometimes, I wonder if this place wouldn't be a little better if we were all required to post under our real names.

 

I'm a minor cog, nobody cares, ...

 

You sell yourself short, Piotr. Wheel Gunner did you have you beat, tho, with Win Without a Knife Yakuma

 

Anyone who would try to find out who I am is more in need of getting a life than I could ever be.

 

I don't think so. Then, it would be like the Poynter message boards, which suck.

The occasional brass-balls-behind-a-computer-screen bullshit we have to deal with here is a helluva lot better than walking on eggshells because we're representin' ourselves or our employers.

 

True, I see your point. I try not to post anything I wouldn't mind having my name attached to. Maybe that's because I've outed myself a couple times.

 

Same here. Mostly because everyone I work with knows me here. And just about everyone I used to work with is on here. And a number of people who I've never worked with, but met on here, know who I am for real. Not that I mind, but still ...
