I think you've learned the lesson -- to your cost -- that announcing anything about yourself online is likely to get opinions either side of the fence and that some people will abuse the various systems around to tease, even bully people. I'm sure you're well aware now that personal blogging can put you in uncomfortable situations and you should probably be a little more careful announcing certain things -- especially if you have more than JUST friends and family watching your exploits... I get thousands of people every day come through to my site to view my technical articles. I don't know 99.99% of them at all so I'd never even dream of giving them any detail about myself that could be twisted... To represent that, it's only been a few months since I started using my real name and a photo of me on there... After 9 years of running the site in some guise. Good luck with it all and I hope this debacle doesn't have a lasting effect on you or your missus. That’s the way of the world, I’m afraid, especially in public forums on the internet.
