Excellent points, CoD4, thank you.

My online self was always "me", and when I started working online as well it become more obvious that this is who I am and how I want to be seen. If my past had included disruption and other problems (with this name or another) then not only could that have affected my chances of working at something I love, but I would have lost many opportunities to develop the real me and learn from all of you!

And as a person who has to try and work out what's going on in disputes, I definitely agree that "fire with fire" is a terrible idea! It makes you look bad, makes it harder for others to see who is in the wrong, it Feeds the Trolls and maybe most importantly, it just doesn't work.

Thanks again CoD4 for this great comment
