I do not have a job that it would matter if I was found out as being a member of this site. It wouldn't matter even when I go on to graduate school. People in my profession have colorful lives, I am just following along in that vein. If it mattered to me if I got caught and outed I would not post photos of myself on this site, I would be more cautious about whom I shared personal info with, and i would not post anything remotely personal on this message board. Unfortunately, like in real life, what you tell people on the internet can come back to bite you. People should remember only to risk what they can afford to risk, and if they cannot afford to risk it they shouldn't have done so. I feel some sympathy, but at the same time I chalk up your situation as a lesson to those who cannot afford to be outed...tread carefully. Slander is a civil matter, not a criminal one. You can sue him, but if what he says about you is true, you will not win. On the other hand, if he is blackmailing you for money or sex, that is a criminal matter. If he has nothing to hurt you with, he will probably go away. But, if he is local to you, knows where you live, I would try to get him for stalking, because stalking is against the law, and people who are stalkers are dangerous.
