For those of you who are blogging, especially about controversial topics, what are your thoughts on anonymity? Why do you bother, if you indeed do? To avoid witch-hunts, hackers, identity thieves, stalkers, trolls, career problems, judgements from family?
And how seriously do you take it? Do you just take basic measures to defeat the low-level trolls and average citizens or do you go the distance to make accessing your real info extremely hard? Change names but use real photos/videos and basic personal details, or always cover your face and stay on-guard?
Just interested to get the different takes out there. Also interested in those who "let it all hang out," so to speak.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
