I mean writing things I'd rather not have on my permanent record. E.g. an overly emotional and poorly thought out political manifesto, or giving personal details that people I work with might consider 'too much information' or "overshare"
Especially for the latter, a pseudonym seems polite. I mean, you need to be aware that if someone /really/ wants to find out, they will. But using a pseudonym, I think, is a polite way to separate your personal life from your professional life.

Yea, I know. Here is one article on it: http://www.channelvmedia.com/blog/office-oversharing-social-...
eh, I dono. I've heard people complaining, e.g. that they didn't really want to know of the sexual proclivities of their co-workers.
I think it's completely reasonable that this isn't the first thing you find out about your co-workers.
Sex, yea you have to be careful.
