What is the point of having a multiple accounts?
1 comments

One of them isn't anonymous.
That's obvious. Maybe my question was no direct enough. Are you afraid to state your own opinions? I mean, you are still more or less anonymous, at least for average reader.
I used to do so and then people would complain to me in person, so I made another account. An obvious example of why you'd want another account - what if you wanted to say something critical about an employer?

The reason I made another account after that is this account specifically seems to have its comments automatically moved down the list. It's easy to find examples where upvoted comments sit below grayed out comments, and oftentimes when I post a new comment it immediately starts at the bottom of the pile.
