I only "know" who Xenia is because of what she herself wrote. This made it relatively easy for anyone intrigued enough to do a bit of googling and find out. So far as I remember though, on the other site, though quite a few people have privately identified Xenia, none of them has actually publically identified her.
Surely ..... that final "unveiling" is up to Xenia herself ? Or else she would be posting under her real name and be done with it ?
Okay ...... it would appear that here too she may have said enough about herself to enable identification (I don't know .... I don't think I've read ALL her posts here, because I never have enough time to read every thread). But I think to announce who she is - in spite of what some people may think of as "indiscretions" (allowing ID to be made) - is possibly going a step too far, and really isn't in the MN spirit.
After all, the vast majority of us retain our privacy by using pseudonyms, which some people also change on a regular basis to further secure that privacy. If someone were ever able to identify me (not that they would, & not that the "real me" is to be found anywhere on the Net anyway) then so be it - but I would feel hurt and picked upon were my identity to be announced by someone I knew, let alone someone I didn't.
I only posted originally here because Xenia was being accused of being a troll and/or a man. I stand by what I said previously which basically amounted to thinking that though Xenia's opinions may at times be controversial/tactless/condescending or whatever, I have never seen her post - here or elsewhere, with the intention of causing trouble or upset, as you'd typically expect a troll to do. Fair's fair ...... from what I've read of her posts, she has never name-called, nor personally attacked anyone else (though I accept that her blunt style combined with strong opinions can make people in quite different circumstances to hers feel as if their lifestyle attacked).
