I decided to stop using an alias on Cellar a while ago. So far I have not been scammed, deported, interrogated, or otherwise inconvenienced.
I do not post from work, but otherwise don't place any restrictions on my online speech other than common sense and (usually) civility. I can still be snarky and occasionally testy, but I approach my online speech with the same stupidity as I do my offline speech,
I do not post from work, and do not discuss my employer.
The current flap about the
Twitter defamation suit shows that aliases do not provide full protection.

San Francisco - Before this week, few knew anything about Amanda Bonnen and her alleged mold problem, or much of anything about Horizon Group Management and their apartments. Now, a local complaint made via a tweet has turned into a national issue – with lessons for both Twitterers and companies targeted by tweets.

Here's what Bonnen wrote on the microblogging site: "Who said sleeping in a moldy apartment was bad for you? Horizon realty thinks it's okay."

If it had been me, I would have stuck with the facts.
