Sarah, I honestly think it's in your own best interests to close the SV account and start again. Choose a new name that isn't connected with your real life identity in anyway. Stay away from a few tell-tale topics. You might even want to have an alternate account so you can "segregate" eg use one account of animal rights type work, another for your other interests, in order to lessen the chances that your enemies will detect you.
I would be ashamed to be associated with a project for which the only option is that members run and hide.
As opposed to what exactly? If your identity becomes known, and you don't want it to be known, then your only option *is* to hide; the rest of us can try to make this easier for you, but sticking our heads in the sand and chanting "You're still anonymous" isn't going to do you a bit of good. Once you're outed, there simply isn't any way to un-out yourself without assuming a new identity.
(This is separate, of course, from the issue of harassment; but the question here is not that of mounting a defense against some identifiable harassment, but of defending against the outing itself.)
