Most folks I know have a handle on these here innertubes but will quickly tell you who they are if you ask politely.

But if they don’t, they don’t and that’s cool too.

I have some experience with being outted. I’ve been outted against my will a few years ago, when someone figured out who I was and posted my name and address and work information in the comments here and all over the place.  I outted myself in a news story that appeared on the front page of The Tennessean, which I thought was going to be pretty definative, but then a couple of months after that, someone got mad at me and made noises like wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for me if folks knew who I really was, and I emailed them back and pointed out the article and that was the end of that.

Aunt B. talks about the outing of bloggers.

How do you feel about it all? I think it’s a Golden Rule thing. If you wanted to be outed, cool.If not, it’s not up to someone else to do it.

That’s just me.
