I guess having yourself online is inevitable though right? May as well control the information if possible.

That's kind of what I think. To be honest, it's not that difficult to act somewhat professionally online. I've found that giving up some anonymity has rewarded me in spades. Even on this forum, I've met some users for coffee, talked to people on Twitter, helped with job-related problems and even played Starcraft with a few. I find it to be much more fulfilling than anonymous lurking.
At the very least, you gain points for having a working social filter. There is nothing wrong with being real (so long as real for you isn't Dexter...)
