I don't use them at the same time: I switched over to using my own name instead of an old alias.

Whenever I plagiarize myself, I try to check the links and refine the text to keep it relevant.

Just posting a link to an old article requires less effort for me, but more effort for other people to switch context, navigate and read. And a server's disk space and bandwidth aren't as precious as a reader's time and effort.

It was not my intention to trigger mdekkers into having fits about SJWs, or shocking paxcoder who is not a gay supporter.

Personally I think it's great that you reposted your comment.

I suggest however that when you do, you add a line to the bottom that says something along the line "This comment was based on an earlier comment I made X days ago using another account." when you do just to keep people from accusing you of plagiarizing others.
