There is a security setting in LinkedIn to hide your contacts from everyone but yourself...

Yes, but it it an all-or-nothing affair?

If I've got several hundred connections, do I want to hide them all from my other contacts?

Some may see that being a bit more exclusive in connecting may be the best solution.

The better solution is that you can change the settings about who can send you connection requests since this "senior professional" feels that they're such an affront when received from strangers
