I'm under no illusions as to how easy it is for some whacko to find out lal the information he/she/it can about me based solely on a post that reads, "lol."

Because any internet activity can be traced to my 5th cousin's bank account if somebody looks hard enough.

On that note, I don't ever blatantly post pictures or reveal anything true about myself that could identify me beyond any other imaginary character you can think of.

If somebody wants to destroy me, they may, but I don't feel the need to perpetuate it. In short: Obey your parents. They probably know less about this subject than you do, but, ironically, they're probably right anyway.
