Regardless, it's probably a gimmick. And I don't necessarily hate on using a second account (like one for this forum, and one for that forum), or you want a fresh start with a new account, but the way they are being used are to manipulate the conversation is reprehensible. You shouldn't get to pretend to be two people in the same conversation.
Somehow I've got a feeling OP could be an "outsider". For example "the list" could be a sign of that. So too the small emotional involvement.
OP could have been tipped off by some more regular user.
More conspiracy theories?
Edit: in fact OP says, in the first sentence, that he/she is a long time lurker, not poster. And we only see the views of folks who post. Easy, easy...
Fair enough. But she's partly the same person anyhow. The moment of conception we got, say, half of what we are. The rest can be changed. Am I the same person I was as a child? Yes and no.
Yeah, made that same mistake about Chesley Manning (previously Brad). Lol. Fly and noodle were like, "he's a she" you dope).
I personally have no objection if she comes back with 1 account.
P7 was not a huge loss in my mind. I try not to get into discussions about ACism because the topic bores me at times, and try to stay on the topics in P. I am not finding it difficult. I rarely politard at all, which is for the best.
