You could hide easily, and as that great philosopher, Louis L’Amour, wrote - - - the best place to hide is in plain sight. The first thing to do is to lose the personal identifiers, in your case: homespun analogies; geographical references; and the pluckiness you learned as a boy among cowboys. You’re an English major and have the ability to quote from a broad array of sources; stick with them and save the “aw shucks” persona for Amos. Align yourself with another geographical culture with which you are familiar, without making any false statements of course. Play up your knowledge of Murrell Ewing and Louisiana. Adopt a laid back, non-confrontational approach; refuse to take the aggressors bait. Finally, develop an annoying habit like making your posts all one paragraph, - - - just like this one. Choose an identity like Cajun, upload a familiar Louisiana landmark for your avatar, and you’ll be invisible to everyone except the perceptive souls that have read this post, and they’ll have forgotten within 24 hours.
