To be purely pragmatic here for a moment. Whatever anyone's feelings are about Kristen, isn't it better not to discourage her from posting as Galkeepinon? Otherwise we'll all be a bit.... careful with new posters for a while. I found myself feeling that way over the weekend as a kneejerk reaction to hearing the news. As I always do when I find out someone used to be someone else.
Kristen admitting her identity now is more open than not admitting it at all, and allowing us to make donkeys of ourselves responding to her as if we had never met her before. Which is what I always feel like when this posting name change thing happens. Like boy what a total flippin idiot I've been. I'll bet everyone just thinks I'm the most gullible jerk in the world. :(
