There's more to life than one's employment-- some mobs also go after their target's relatives.
I'm not really aware of that happening as a result of internet disputes.
Also, a fairly high proportion of people get highly distracted and upset by violent threats even if the likelihood of physical attacks has been low so far.
A high proportion of people also don't draw mobs.
I know one person who did and he has no issue dealing with it.
Given that you are a woman I can understand that it's a more reasonable risk for you. Unfortunately online women get attacked more easily and more nasty than a lot of men.
Still you have chosen to be quite open.

What I've heard is that men are more likely to get attacked (makes sense given where they hang out), it's just that women are more likely to make a big deal of it.
