Oh yeah, there is a danger. I don’t know if you have read much of what I have written, but just for example, I have written much about my fight with bipolar disorder. My parents in the real world don’t know and neither does anyone else in the family. Were they to see who I am, it would be a disaster.
The wonderful thing about this place is that you can be anonymous if you want. Not everyone leads exemplary lives as you do. Some of us have things we wish to talk about, but we wish to hide from those who would use it to hurt us. I have many secrets I can talk about here because no one knows who I am. If any of these secrets got out in the real world, I could lose everything I have—my family, my wife, my job. I probably wouldn’t lose it all, but certainly some of it.
So you will never see my picture until I am dead. An truth be told, what do you care? I could put up any old picture, randomly drawn from the internet. I could put up a pseudo picture that is computer generated. I could be beautiful or ugly or diseased or strong or male or female or anything I want and you wouldn’t know if it was the truth or not.
I will tell you this: you are truly thankful you don’t see my picture. If you saw it, you would wish you could unsee it.
