If you're having to run from your embarrassing FT history multiple times, then maybe you're better off posting elsewhere.
Honestly, if you never caused any trouble, and just changed your name periodically... you're right... it would probably not get noticed. But having the rule in place does give the Talkteam and Randy's staff some ground in which to discipline someone who does like to stir up the pot, then return under a new handle rinse and repeat.
