I personally am not too worried, I never put any information I don't mind others having and putting it up here is no worse than having it on facebook.
General rule of thumb, don't put anything online you don't mind your worst enemy having. And my photograph and my name isn't enough to open accounts in my name or anything like that and my main social profiles I have had on as long as I have had this account or longer.
Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add

I get that what you're describing is possible, but by my math you're describing a very low probability event. I'm guessing I have a higher probability of repeatedly getting struck by lightning, especially since my ideas aren't particularly unique or outrageous.

As someone that works in information security, specifically monitoring the threat landscape, I can say (with pretty high confidence) that there's minimal risk here.

Sure, sometimes it can warrant unwanted attention, but that's something everybody typically thinks about before posting anyway.

Do you know of the superior form of the owl?
The owlbear?

To be fair, you look really good like that, but i don't know how you look without it, maybe is just that the people that says that find you more attractive without it
