It's too long and boring a story to explain my username, but I've had it since the Dean for America days and maintain it for consistency.
I don't think I'm much different IRL. But for some reason people are much nicer to me IRL. Either people are just nicer in general IRL, or I'm just less charming online... :)

Yeah, apparently I am a real charmer here... Or the world's last remaining Stalinist. Same diff, eh?

the world's last remaining Stalinist

Check out http://www.stalinvive.com - I am not quite sure whether they're making fun of themselves or they are right wingers making fun of the left.

Re: your online self (none / 1)

Actually, the latter. But they do a really good impersonation.
