   Now you are threatening physical harm? Are you aware that LinkedIn is on   
   the WWW and accessible via search engines and to anyone on LinkedIn?   
   This info may be personal but it is most certainly not private. Those   
   who will read this post are far from likely to be prospective employers,   
   but those who see your LinkedIn profile are.   
      
   You might want to save yourself the cost of a plane ticket and bail   
   money and put it toward the 2026 race season. I'll be saving this   
   conversation, just in case.   
      
   Anyway, I wanted to point out that any prospective employer/client who   
   sees that page is likely to be put off. Why is a person who claims to be   
   a full-time at a company since 2018 now asking for gig work, and   
   available immediately on flexible terms? Look at that through a   
   prospect's eyes. There are no answers that reflect positively on that   
   combination. There are a lot of questions raised, none of them that you   
   would want to have asked. You might want to mull that over.   
      
   Your negative reaction indicates to me that you are somewhat blind to   
   negative consequences of your own behavior.
