    I’m not afraid of you; I value my privacy. There’s a difference.

    Why aren’t you practicing what you preach and post under your real name? Are you a scaredy cat?

      This didn’t come off as preaching to me. But a self realization. I do think OP is confusing their own motivation for everyone else’s.

    Anonymity in this age is a gift of the divine. Do not squander it.

    I think this comment says more about you than it does about me/“us”.

    If you are afraid of random internet users then best of luck with what else life has in store for you.
