We've had some discussion, you and I, about public posting.
I don't write fic, much, though I do comment when I'm so moved. My LJ is mostly opinion, and I pull few punches. I have no tailored filters--either you're friended or you're not, and the main reason I flock at all is that I'd prefer not to be Google-able, not because I'm ashamed of anything I have to say. I have an unusual and instantly recognizeable last name, and a couple of crackpots in my personal history who have, on occasion, made it their life's work to persecute and publicly harrass and embarrass my family. Just the name recognition alone is trigger enough for them, and so I do try to retain that bit of anonymity.
Otherwise, everyone and anyone on my flist gets the full benefit of my cognitive energies, and for the most part, I calls 'em like I sees 'em.
My heart breaks and my ire swells on behalf of the person who was outed. May those responsible live long and miserable lives plagued with multiple physical, mental, and emotional torments, from boils to itchy rashes to suppurating sores. And that's too good for them.
