I write here. Some of you can see it, most of the world cannot

What about a blog wherein you say it all publicly, but don't share your true identity. You could privately point it to the doughnut hole people, but ask them not to share with the doughnut people

Thanks for this. I am thinking about it. And if you decide to start that blog and feel like sharing the url, please let me know :)

Some blogging formats, like Wordpress, have different privacy levels. When I wish to discuss something that I don't want fully "out there" in the world, for instance, I password-protect it: only a handful of long-time readers have that password, so it's a more "safe" community. I also often switch older posts to fully private (only I can see those archives) or to password-protected after some time. This means that new folks finding my site can't access everything I've ever written about myself -- the picture remains a bit more fragmented and partial. Finally, I use a feature that sends all first-time commenters to me for approval before their comments appear; after that first time, they may comment again freely. It's a good way to weed out trolly-types.
Good luck deciding what to do!
