so when someone googles my name some embarrassing posts come up on a forum I post on, since one of the members figured out my name and posted my name on the forum. The guys that run the forum are jerks and will probably just make it worse if they found out that I was bothered by it (suck I know). Is there anything I can do?
Also, when I was a grad student I think some snoopy grad students went through my browser history on my PERSONAL laptop and figured out I post using this username. People can be such assholes. They saw a post saying I was considering leaving the research group and I think they went and showed my advisor about the post. Makes me furious...I hope the bastards see this post.
I am trying to find a job in industry right now and I am afraid they are googling my name and passing me up because of the embarrassing posts. Is there any way I can mitigate this. I posted this on the forum over 8 years ago and it's still showing up.
