I absolutely do not share Fluther. This is my place to ask questions, receive advice, and talk about things in my life I might not normally talk about if everyone knew who I was. If I talk about it with friends/family in conversation, I don’t mention the name – I just say, “This interesting topic arose on the internet forum site I frequent..” or something along those lines.
If anyone I do know joins, I – like @babiturtle36 – will simply not tell them my screen name, will change my avatar, and will change my info on my profile.
Fluther is my escape!
