TALK NERDY TO ME The lost and found tale of online identity

STAFF COLUMNIST
At the start of the semester, I blogged an image of an ad saying ?penicillin cures gonorrhea in 4 hours? with the added quote, ??And, if you happen to have a really bad hookup, you might need this organic compound the next day.? ?5.12 professor on reasons why you should study organic chemistry.? I knew that many of the people who read my personal blog would appreciate the dorky humor behind the joke. I didn?t expect it to fuel online trolls into releasing my work address, in addition to an incorrect work address for my dad. I also didn?t expect these trolls to misconstrue the quote as my discussing my personal life, let alone as an admission that I?ve contracted gonorrhea. I?ve never contracted gonorrhea ? or any STIs, for that matter ? but as the picture states, it is curable!
