Dear Skinner,

[Snoutport]

I don't know if you have read many of my posts but I have been pretty vocal about some issues at my school. Really terrible food mostly but some other posts that could probably get me in a little bit of hot water.

A few weeks ago, in a meeting, my supervisor brought up one of my DU posts. I think she was had googled a news article and my post came up and that is how she found the article. But, I know I have shared enough information that if they continue to try to look at my posts they will be able to identify me.

Over the past weeks I have been in a quandry what to do. My general attitude is that I have every right to share my story with people but I have been critical in ways that would get me called out and the pressure of that hanging over me is causing me some emotional distress.

I have tried to keep writing posts about my education experiences but every time I do not I begin to worry that I am digging my own grave. I also have to consider that if I get myself fired or transferred to a new school, my class and staff will be hurt as will my family.

Is it possible to have my profile and past writings deleted? I hate to do it, I am very proud of some of my posts, but I think I have no choice.

I will rejoin DU with a new name and continue to write but have decided that I need to be much less candid about my job and where I work.

I hope this is possible. I have a pretty stressful job as it is and the worry that I may have gone to far on DU has been making the stress worse.

I look forward to your response and, while I have your ear, I love your website. I feel greatly empowered and more knowledgeable since I have found it. DU is where I know go for news and for conversation.

Thank you! Snoutport

1. There is no way to mass-delete a bunch of posts.

If there is a small number, you can email me a list of links and I can manually delete them.

You can hide your profile in the DU options page.
