You cited paranoia for a lot of your reasons to limit the information you shared and how it could lead someone to deduce your whereabouts.

That seems logical enough to me, I do the same online and don't have to worry about half as much but I guess my question is, was the paranoia justified? Was there any preceeding incidents to cause you to become more cautious?

Tbh I originally assumed the blogger's perspective was male and the caution maybe a bit over the top - but understandable - re-reading it now after seeing your HN username I totally get it. Hope your situation has changed for the better since your blogging days!
