17 years ago, I didn't feel the need to do that...once I posted my phone number openly on the Cafe Darte, and dared and taunted any troll to call me...(I was having a particular problem with trolls at the time...editec, to his credit, did the same after I did..)Some like to keep their online and real lives separate...
I got a couple of "heaving breathing" messages, but not one person who had the guts to actually face me, even on the phone....(pussies the lot...I suspected as much...)
But even so, when you're thinking about your family you make a different calculation...
I would never do that now...
