What you say is indeed one possible way to deal with it.

Treat it as a public postcard signed with your name, and never for a minute assume that someone doesn't link what you say to your identity.

This mode of operating means you will be more polite when angered by some troll online, as you are not hiding behind some pseudonym.

And at least you won't be shocked when a Website does what Glasdoor recently did, i.e. convert from pseudonyms to people's real names WITHOUT CONSENT OR WARNING. Surely by using always your real name you will not bitch about your employer on a Website when you name is shown as the poster and you will still want to get promoted, or at least retained as an employee.




So the whole internet will become like LinkedIn. Let the horror begin.
