I just want everyone to remember that this forum shows up on Google searches, and when someone you know hits they may well see your picture and find everything you've ever posted.

We mods frequently get requests to delete all posts from members who have had someone whom they know find out about their activity here. It's a lot more personal and concrete with your actual photograph showing.

Just a reminder to consider all the ramifications.

True stuff. Or you could disregard what anyone thinks of you and let it be known to the world (unless we're talking about employers here).

It's not about "what people think of me". As you mention, employers, potential employers, etc. I see complications arise very consistently in one of my own companies where HR finds [WHAT A CORPORATION WOULD CONSIDER ] compromising statements on the ol' interwebs. Of course usually that's FB, but other things are found, too.

Like I said, we moderators routinely receive "emergency" requests for us to erase all traces of a person here on SS because the wrong people (with different sensibilities than we generally have) have discovered the member's activities here.

I think that the original point of this thread is something to at least bear in mind. To each his own, but it's good to consider all the ramifications.

I really don't care what my employer or anyone else thinks about my being on SS for the past 10 years. Thee fact is, I'm proud of it, so if my employer doesn't like it, then they can fire me, because I'll gladly take the unemployment wages, and I am always up for changing jobs. In my mind, spinning plates pertains to jobs almost as much as it pertains to women.

An interesting perspective, to say the very least.

I too am proud of my activities here on SS (and I agree that you should be proud of yours), and I consistently try to get guys to come here as I consider SS to be an extremely valuable resource to individual men and society-at-large, but I also believe in living strategically and tactically.

I've found in life that there is immense power in formlessness. When I'm formless I can penetrate the tiniest cracks of a machine like a vapor and corrode it from within, all while being undetectable. Form limits and cripples me in many arenas of life. Like everything in life, I try to leverage it to my advantage. I believe there is great power in becoming visible and invisible at will according to my long and short-term purposes.

For me it's about avoiding providing an easy target to those who would make my life inconvenient. YMMV, fair enough.

I just noticed Atom Smasher has come "home". Good to have you back!

Thank you, my friend. I appreciate that.
