I think she has shared too much, her comments harken back to the early days of the internet before we realized that ugliness could easily find us.

I agree with your post, and the above really resonated with me. I am very careful to keep a low profile online, use pseudonyms and and avoid a social media presence, something I learned the hard way.

Back in those “early days of the internet”, I had a personal home page (remember when your friendly ISP would offer you space for one of those?) and I put WAY too much information on it. It was during the Klintoon administration, and when I was really fed up with him, I put up a meme (before I knew what that was, lol). It was really very innocuous - it just showed Bill C’s face with a long Pinocchio nose, and an unfriendly caption underneath. Well, after I did that, I started getting anonymously harrassed, and though I can’t prove it, I had strong reason to believe it may have originated from the Witch, herself.

Now I know better, and don’t do such things - in fact, I’ve taken things to the opposite extreme.
