Thinking about alternate sign-on

[Hand of Evil]

Thinking about creating an alternate userID and was wondering the views of such? Does number of users effect performance?

I just don't see the point. Is there any real benefit to doing so? What's your reasoning?

There are days when I don't like the 'tilt' of the board and structure my thoughts differently. HoE is basicly a nice guy handle, not a harsh smartass.

Oh, so you want to be mean without anyone realizing it. Maybe it would be suitable then, though with a name like Hand of Evil, I'd have to say you got things out of order.

I wouldn't. I've considered making up a gender generic name for myself with no avatar so no one would know that I was female and then I thought about it more and asked myself if I had any real reasoning behind doing it.

I thought about it. I didn't have any real reason. The only reason I could think of was that it would be interesting to see if people treated me any differently. I realized that they probably wouldn't. At least not 99% of the folks.

Then I realized I really had no reason to set up another account.

If you set up a "non" nice guy handle, what would you intend to do? Be mean, rude and otherwise different to people? Is it worth it, though?

Belive me, there are days when I just want to write pages long rants about various things, but I'm glad I don't, because I think I'd regret it afterwards. I know I regret a few of the things I've posted on other web boards that don't have such strict "play nice" policies.

My thoughts are different on some days too. So I know what it's like, but really, I think the trouble it would cause you in the long run, it's not worth it.

Not to mention it would confuse the heck out of us

I have a fake I.D.

Is that anything like an alternate I.D.?

I think it is important, otherwise you cannot get boos when they see you get off the school bus.

My real name is 'Tracy', as a guy I know all about the name thing!

Would not say to be mean...
