There was a story, a couple of years ago, about a teacher who got fired, because she posted a picture on Facebook, holding a margarita, or something. She was on a vacation in the Caribbean.
One of the parents saw the post, and raised a stink.
Now that I'm retired, it doesn't really matter that much, but I do my best to behave well (this joint is pretty much the only place I post much). In the past, I was not so circumspect. In fact, I was a troll.
I remember once, signing up for Disqus, and they came back, and said something to the effect of "We found all these posts from around the Internet. Would you like to claim any as yours?"
Included, were some of the worst troll posts I'd made, many years ago, under the [obviously mistaken] assumption that they were anonymous.
I nuked the signup, and went and had a lie-down.
Since then, I have never bothered to try being anonymous. I probably could, if I wanted to, but I'd rather just stay public, and not say stuff that I'd regret.
