My Wikipedia identity has been connected to this blog and hence to my real-life identity. This blog contains a lot of personal info in its archives that I’d long forgotten about, and just reading through my early posts was like a trip down memory lane.
There have been some nasty real-life consequences, which have made it all too real to me that there is a cost. For editing, that is. One that few would think to account for.
God, I was ignorant when I started editing.
May the same never happen to you.
