I hear your point, JJ, but at the same time... I'm not particularly interested in acting any other way than who I am on TFP, on the new forum or otherwise. It's a waste of time for me to invent a new personality or set of behaviors. This is who I am, now and in real life, at least as much as I can manage. It's tempting to be anonymous, but it's also pretty disingenuous when I already know most of the community... which is why my commitment remains here.

Well, the first quote was a personal reflection. For me to run away and be anonymous would be chicken-shit move, as judged by me. The second quote is because I am intrigued, as an outsider, that more people are not creating new personas over there... because humans love to reinvent themselves and "start anew." I am just saying that, given human behavior, I am surprised that the new place looks so much like the old. That's all.
