I thought your post was sensible and well-put. If you aren't comfortable with your name or your work being somewhere, then you have the right not to give permission for it to be there.
Actually, I lie. I don't feel at all bad about that. I dislike being just one of the crowd.
fwiw, you aren't alone in feeling like an outsider. I always have, even growing up in the middle of a large (Irish) family. I was 'the quiet one', the one that didn't quite fit in, didn't quite belong. I thought it was due to being a military brat (my dad was Air Force) although it didn't seem to strike my siblings in that way. Now I just figure its because I was what they called me back then, growing up - a changling child. Something about the way my brain is wired just isn't up to "standard". And that's all right. Even if it does leave me on the outside looking in. When I look around me, I'm seeing more and more of us out here, and all of us wondering what it is that all of them in there find so fascinating.
