Yea, I'd go back to using my real name in here if we were no longer able to be found by Google. I think quite a few people know who I am anyways, so "hiding" behind a nickname is a little exaggerated. There are only 2 or 3 people here who have aliases here that I don't know.
I personally use a 'handle', 'cause I got bit in the ass by my name being associated with an off-the-cuff post I made a while back. It was my own damn fault, but I decided then that I was using CrowTeeRobot. Adam, I think that there is a problem of being able to stand behind what you say when your words are posted in an online forum. One HUGE disadvantage is not being in front of the person reading your words and being to explain yourself if need be. Anything can be taken out of context (Hillary and Obama for example) and used against you to make you look like a troll. My (non) religious stance being the biggest example I could think of. I have a professional life and career to think about. Like it or not, companies, managers, HR people, they all will Google you, and I don't need any negatives - perceived or real, hindering my career. On Jan 29, 2008 12:20 PM, Erika L.
