Just curious, why do people keep changing their accounts?

Asked by chyna (51598points) December 17th, 2020 from iPhone

I’m talking about users who have been here a long time, but change their name and avatar often.
I’m just wondering.

Who knows. They’re strange and annoying.

Hmm, you remind me of someone. I can’t quite put my finger on it.

I left voluntarily and returned after Gail died. I didn’t have my old logon info so I just created a new account. I’m reincarnated but didn’t make it a secret.

Sometimes it makes sense @jca2 but some people just seem to change very frequently. Oh well – maybe it’s a habit of “the left.”

Aha! Now it makes sense. Keep the plutocrats guessing!

I thought Kropotkin advocated mutual recognition.

I have an alternate account that I use for posting impulsive buffoonery.
I also use it for transceiving snark.

I usually change my avatar with the seasons.
My current one is a photo of fall foliage, along the St. Lawrence river.

@Brian1946 it looks like autumn though. You should change to winter :)

According to my calendar, the first day of winter is December 21.

I promise to change my avatar to the “Green Tornado”, no later than the 22nd. ;-)

I always use some variation of “NoMore” something or other. I have a habit of forgetting emails Addy’s and pass words so I’ve locked myself out of there a few times,
