In my own case, a decade ago, when I did something on these forums to protect myself (the fake death thing) after I was robbed at gunpoint outside my home, I was very unpopular among my AP friends and peers. Some still hold that against me even today. At that time, several members of the community recommended that I stop posting for 6 months or a year and then re-emerge under a new handle. I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't run or hide. That is a troll thing to do. Real AP's use the same handle, so people in the community know who they are.
Okay kJ, I get all that. Other than not understanding the AP code of ethics (someone forget to give me the manual, lol), explain to me how using different handles on different sites is some violation of an ethical code. Bosox just made a post about me on BJTF and said all my handles are very consistent. This shows I have no agenda. If I’d do it again, I’d probably use the same handle, but I’d still say the same things. I only have one handle for each site. I’ve never tried to keep my different handles a secret.

The day I registered on BJTF I was just trying to access some link from a post and it said I don’t have access to this link without registering. So what did I do? I randomly typed in a bunch of letters and numbers to register. I didn’t give it much thought, just like I don’t with my passwords.

Now when I registered here, I did think about it. I registered here mainly because I wanted to ask Moses a question about his count since he talked about it so much. I didn’t want to use dbs since I thought he might not take me seriously and he’d just start calling me names. This is what some APs do when they see who is asking a question. So I used the handle I thought I was using on bj21, but I got it wrong by a couple numbers.

I really didn’t know this handle thing was that big of a deal. But I know see it is. It’s got Bosox so upset he made a special post about me on BJTF. I’m not going to reply or deal with that site anymore. Bosox has some serious problems if this handle thing gets him so upset.

Anyway, I can’t go back in time to correct my different handles so it is what it is. I can tell this has the AP community in a frazzle, which doesn’t take much.

And btw, I don’t really consider myself an AP as such. I’m more a part time red chip counter on weekends. And I didn’t lie when I said I like your posts. I’ve got a lot out of them and always enjoy your stories on your experiences. I think I’ve mentioned that from more than one handle. Lol
