I really dont know what made me choose a second username. Part of it was because I felt that my bratty behavior had created some permanent enemies. And basically what was happening was every post of mine, regardless of how high it finally reached in reputation, would see an almost immediate plummet of 1 or 2 points.

So, I started a new user account and resolved to turn over a new leaf... and achieved a perfect record of ++ posts. I thought I was logged in as princepawn when I made the reply to my own thread, but somehow I messed up and was logged in as princepawn.

Then, I felt that I had done a good job of contributing as metaperl and had built up a recording of actually doing good as opposed to saying I would, so I tried to link that to the hated image of myself as princepawn to the positive image of metaperl, hopefully erasing the accumulated dislike.

What has happened instead, is that all of metaperl's post have been uniformly reduced in reputation by 2-5 points each. Now, I should've known better. Once you anger the charging bull, forget it. And I have angered the charging bull. I remember once in the chatterbox pschoonveld said I think princepawn is a dumbass. This is a condemning statement. A more reasonable statement is: "to date, princepawn has acted like a dumbass", thus leaving room for future improvement.

But well, angry charging bulls are angry charging bulls aren't they? Luckily, I didn't say my alter-ego was someone else, or they would have logged into a very unpleasant surprise {grin}.

The above statement is just a joke, for those of you who never catch my humor.
