    But what if that person(s) has been diagnosed with a multiple personality disorder? To each of his personalities they fully act and believe they are separate people. Shouldn't they each get their own account?

    I've wondered about whether someone is pulling an Orson Scott Card-like trick on us by, say, posting as both KingSpeed and Shooter. :)

    We don't want to hassle people for having fun using the site. If some find it fun to have more than one account, I don't see the harm. If the multiple accounts are confusing to other posters, it's worth our while to point out that the multiple accounts are one poster.

    Even so, it's not entirely sure that two accounts are the same poster. Consider when two people in the same household share the same computer but use two different accounts. It looks like one poster, but it's really two. So we don't point out the multiple accounts too often.

    It's pretty obvious that some guys have made new accounts and started posting under a different user name. I guess it gives them a 0 post count to start out again. If anyone wants their name changed, just PM an admin and they can make the change.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The Orson Scott Card trick would be if the actual die-hard Blazers optimist were posting as MIXUM and the die-hard pessimist were posting as KingSpeed. :)

    And how is that different from MIXUM? Is MIXUM the equivalent of a 4th grader?

    What's your gig, other than to berate posters? Nice game last weekend, by the way. :)

    Back in 2003-04, a certain poster and I had the ESPN board bamboozled into believing we were the same person. At least a quarter of this current S2 board was there, accusing us of it all the time. This went on for a year or two. It was hilarious.

    Any idiot could see we had different writing styles. But we agreed on some issues, like not blowing up a good team and keeping Whitsitt, so that trumped all in their eyes.

    It's funny until you realize that these same dummies were e-mailing the Blazers PR staff, whining that all the good players must be dumped so that we could go through years of losing, just to satisfy their own religiosity.

    I'm pretty sure BGrantFan is schizophrenic and his other side is MickZagger

    Another war story from your Glory Days.

    What's next? Regaling us all with tales from the Robert Pack years?

    If you make me mad I'll start talking about the Wilt and Jerry team. And the Walton Gang. Then I'll go 10 years before that and talk about my first Harlem Globetrotter game that I saw in Hawaii. Then I'll go 10 years before that and talk about the American Occupation in Japan.

    Just don't get me pissed off or you'll be sorry, eh?
