People could, and have. I'm the same everywhere, including Facebook. I even cross-post sometimes between here and FB. If they don't like what I'm going through, then they don't have to look, or they can look and maybe they'll understand. I was confronted irl once about something from here, but told them it's how I really feel about about it. They played victim with "I never knew you" but that's only because they never tried. I don't friend family on Facebook, because I'm opinionated and have problems with politics/religion/conventions/etc and they will berate me in person.
