It's disappointing (though not surprising) to hear your story about Math Overflow and your location. I think the more we talk about it the more aware people will be so thank you for sharing.

The scientist in me also finds your experience very interesting. For the most part we think of these online platform as "anonymous" because we aren't conversing face to face. Yet our biases find other ways to creep in, often unnoticed.
