The possibility of FOIA requests isn't something I'd thought of, because I've never worked for a public institution, but my current employer does take government contracts, so I should look into whether that might affect me. Thanks for bringing that up.
I do want to clarify that I have no intention of actually *using* my wallet name in fandom. No matter how open I become about the connection, I expect to keep going by my pseudonym in fannish spaces. I've been very lucky so far in that trolls have rarely come after me and never been persistent, so I might be looking at the situation through rosier glasses than I ought.
