I've changed my mind about hating this April 1st (and continuing) shake up of usernames. I sometimes exercise caution towards a post because of who the user is, whether because I like them (positive) or because I think they are a lunatic (negative). For a short time, we get to see some true opinions based not upon who the messenger is, but because of their content. It should be interesting to go back and see who we responded to and who responded to us.

Anyone agree with this sentiment?

Also, I had to eventually make a question since this is "AskPoal." I don't know the correct subverse to just make a meta observation about Poal.

This is oddly familiar.

Use some excuse to shake up the status quo. Everyone sort of accepts it considering the valid excuse. Then it stays that way almost indefinitely with no end in sight.

Are you trying to say something of import?

E: Get it out, I know you can do it!

E2: Stop dancing like a pussy. Did I hear you say, "Let's kill all the jews." I think that is what I heard you say. I agree!

I prefer to have whoever reads it come to their own conclusion through their own volition.

Here's the nugget of import. When someone else tells you what's true, you only half believe it. When you convince yourself what's true, it's almost unshakable.
