Every so often, in places where I can be seen as the sum of my history (especially places with reputation scores), I create a new account with zero history. It stops me self-censoring on the basis of not wanting to damage my own reputation.

It's ridiculous; it's a line of text on a screen, and everyone here is a stranger, but I still feel myself caring. Can't stop caring, but I can start from fresh every so often.
