just to keep things fresh, I think. here is what he said in the announcement last May:

How do I join?

Just go to discussionist.com and create an account.

We encourage you to sign up with a different username from the one you use here at DU. The message board culture is going to be different over there, and it might be more fun with a different name. Don't expect to find Skinner, EarlG, or Elad posting over on Discusionist; we've changed our names too. (If you simply must use the same username, you can request it here on DU by sending a DU Mail message to Elad with the title "Discussionist username" so he can release your name to you. We have set aside all usernames from DU so trolls can't grab them on Discussionist, but we have not copied over your email or password for privacy reasons.)

8. Thanks, Kali!I guess it's just me. But I feel like having a different name would be hiding who I am.

Which is not my style. i am more a 'what you see is what you get', straight up kind of person. I don't tend to switch directions with prevailing winds.

decided to take their lead and try a little different name. I get outed repeatedly by one particular individual and they stalked me on facebook too, but otherwise I am pretty much the same person both places.

be warned that is an open site and all political views are allowed. there are some real wing nuts over there. confederate flag avatars and all.
