Some members here change names here like they would shoes. You really cam register with multiple names, and start talking as if it was someone else.
Then they talk about each other, but really referring to someone else, as if everyone could assume simultaneous identities.
I have myself stopped writing and registered under a different name. but not concealing my previous name as if it held some bad news that I thought better of it not to publish.
Some guy a few months ago found one of my other names, as it was easy to find. References are vastly more complicated the first way, and although I think it is ingenious, but at the same time it can be deceptive .
That goes to the heart of distraction, and if it is done by a professed trained person it works. Otherwise it only sheds a hidden aspect on the person, and can result in confusing referentiality.
There is more.psychology to this, as this distinction separates the actor in a certain context of reality versus one who generally used identifiable characteristics in all contexts. It may make much more.then a stylistic difference, much to it’s discredit.
In the present context of separating truth from falsehoods, it’s particularly fitting.
