Subject: RE: BS: Blogging Anonymously
I don't generally blog anonymously. I don't really consider blogging/posting under a Mudcat (or whatever forum) nickname "anonymous" because I always use the same name and if I say something asinine, y'all know it's me so it's not like I'm getting away with anything. Likewise, in my circle of blog acquaintances, they all know it's me and know where to find me. I never post comments to their blogs anonymously.

As far as geographical location and other info, it goes on a case-by-case basis. If it's somebody I know and I'm PM-ing them, or posting to a forum that I know has a limited interest base, I may give other info of varying degrees of specificity. I don't give a lot of particulars in public places for safety reasons.

I never give real names of third parties in posts because some people are weird about that and it's just less of a hassle in case they ever run across the post.
