Name changers????????????????????

Those of us who migrated here from the Fray, often took note of way many of the conservatives would all change their screen names periodically. This often happened in waves, usually after something happened that the right didn't like. I sense that that tradition has migrated over to PJ, as I recognize some distinct styles and points attached to new names.

Anybody else notice this?
 
No, Tom, I haven't. It's not been my experience that consistency in someone's posting moniker has any party link or philosophical drivers whatsoever. There are many here - left and right - who have names that differ from Slate...MANY. Dozens of lefties and dozens of righties. There are also many who kept the same names. What's more, when may Frayfolk first showed up here (this last Fall, I believe), the introduction page was littered with people greeting one another and specifically identifying who they are/were.

Why would even someone's chosen posting name be a bone of contention? Next it will be avatars no doubt. :)

I was told that only the owners can change your name and that they have many "tools" to prevent sock puppets, so don't worry bout' it too much.
 
Sorry, my incredibly obsessed friend. My RickWA moniker is an original that began when I first logged into Politics Fray in Spring 2001. Don is a separate and distinct poster who writes nothing like me, is of a different age and education demographic, and whose personality is entirely different. I think we have two common traits (we're both conservative and we're both originally from Washington State - although I grew up considerably farther north in the Marysville area - I think he's a native Seattle guy).

You need not take my word for it - you can feel free to consult board administrators here, or you can ask old Slate posters left or right (take your pick). In any case this is abject silliness, Gabriel. That you maintain this line on a protracted basis is odd. I don't care enough about it to entertain this further. Take care.

You're still on that kick after all these years? LOL LOL DUDEEEEEEE many of us KNOW Rick, he ain't Don. You might want to consider bringing that to the attention of the owners. They would surely clear it up for you. They have all our IP addy's. Then maybe you can put your obsession to rest once and for all.

Well "Dilly" did show up for a spell. "She" was portraying someone else here with a different name. Quite funny and very spot on. Too much so as she/he didn't last long here but had quite a few people in stitches. So guess Blam did get in under the radar. If he hadn't been making remarks like saying he was from Florida and looking for an old "German husband" and other pointed remarks he may have gotten by with it. So we know it can be done. I have no doubt someone reported him because all his posts disappeared after so long. Blam can be pretty sneaky and he's like an elephant...he never forgets.
 
funny that you would have only noticed conservatives doing that.

Far as I can see the only names changed here (done quite some time ago) were either obvious or announced.

But I guess you think you've got something there.................... What are your other names? Please list!:lol:
 
Some of us have seen pictures of both and KNOW the difference, huh, Bru.

I believe if you have a specific charge to make against someone, first you get your ducks in a row, make very certain you have credible verifiable supporting evidence, and then present it in a fair manner. If you cannot do that, making a vague insinuation that you can't back up reflects poorly on you, and no one else.


For the record, when I posted on the Fray, the only nic I have ever gone by was as it is now: Zam-Zam. The name refers to a well in Saudi Arabia that is considered holy to believers of the Islam faith.
 
he said he sensed it was occurring and asked if someone else felt the same. and here i thought you were a mazda commercial!
 
I've had the same nic since 2007 (maybe 2005)

However, there are many from the left trying to hide behind new names in PJ
