"Are you that guy from the Warlizard gaming forum?" That guy could just make a new username and move on. So could you. I don't really understand your point here. (Also, you said you modded a default, but I don't know about whatever drama happened to make you reddit famous, if that is important to this discussion)
I still don't understand. There is nothing that would link a new username to the one you have now, if you didn't want it to. Does having a name on reddit give your posts more weight in discussions? Are you too proud of your post history to "give up on it" (not meant to sound snarky)?
This happened. Literally. For eight weeks. Reddit was much smaller then, but it still happened. I know you want to think I don't know what I'm talking about, but I do. And you don't have to listen to me, but I also don't have to talk to you. Yet I am. I walked away from Reddit. Deliberately and with forethought. I came here instead. By then, I'd been nominated for commenter of the year four years running. I'd been bestof'd more than a hundred times. That and a couple bucks will buy you a cup of coffee but the fact of the matter is, my writing style and subject matter is such that even when I wasn't busy being "kleinbl00" I got called out for being "kleinbl00." Believe it or don't. I can't explain it any clearer.Because most people aren't asked "are you kleinbl00?" within 3 days of assuming a new pseudonym.
Well it's a bit clearer now. I've never been part of a small online community where people would be able to identify each other through their writing styles. This subject is quite interesting, though, I appreciate the insight.
I never asked you to confirm this, but I'm pretty sure I caught you on an alt account making a top level comment in an r/askreddit thread. I recognized you by both writing style and story. All I said was, "Hi." (Because reddit is the only other place i use this username.) The user said hi back. So if that was you, we can confirm a little example-in-action right now for the gallery.
