If there’s some really good reason to stay “actually” anonymous that I haven’t considered, I want to know about it.
This is a site where people discuss the the ethics of infanticide, PUA and politics in general. Unless you are very, very good at self-censoring, you will leave textual evidence that you can probably change your mind on these kinds of things, or that you’re willing to have civil discussions with people who have disgusting and abhorrent views. The subcultures in which this is possibly a positive trait are a tiny fractioin of the size of the ones where it is mildly to massively negative.
IOW having traceable views that are outside polite opinion can bite you on the ass.
Worrying about this prevented me from creating an account for a long time, but once I did I didn’t bother to avoid the problem. That was probably unwise. Now that it’s happened, is there a way to delete this username if I switch accounts?
Go to Preferences and click on “DELETE”, give confirmation and your account will be deleted. Old comments and posts will still work, but the account name on them will be replaced with “[deleted]” (you could manually edit all your posts to blanks, if you should feel the need to, but please don’t; it harms the blog).

You’re gentleperson and a scholar. I suppose I could wait to delete my account until its existence might be dangerous to me.
