my accunt is over a year old with over 5K karma, almost all of which is comment karma.

Name one supervisor or manager of this township whose background explains my post history. There's a lot there, including some SQL code earlier today if I remember and probably a bunch of stuff about the field in which I have a PhD if you dig long enough.

So. Anyways. The township supervisor/admin who can pass coding interview questions and has a phd in a math-heavy field. What's their name again? Go ahead. I'm waiting.

Could it be possible that I have a genuine distaste for conspiratorial nutbags who turn local government into bored single rural white dude version of the instagram influencer game?

I do not expect any sort of personal or professional benefit for developing a reputation with this handle.

In fact, I change handles every few years in case someone decides to "stalk me" and "beat my face in". As is happening in this thread, for example.

I do think it's astounding that anyone could look at my post history and conclude I'm one of these township supervisors. I'm clearly not.

One poster, that is an obvious throwaway, created 3 hours ago. (all posts flagged)

On the other hand you've complained about this no less than 3 times in different threads. why? How is an obvious troll account relevant to other posters issues with your own behaviour? This feels like what-about-im, but the difference is it's pretty clear that the other guy isn't being tolerated.

If you are just as abrasive in real life as in this thread I can believe it.

It’s not that I don’t understand the frustration, but at this point it’s a bit past the point of being reasonable.

I imagine they’ll get it sorted through swearing in twitter guy and then ignoring him as much as possible for the next 6 years, after which they’ll make sure to get someone one of their friends to run.

But who knows, maybe they’ll get along.

The point of a stable and recognizable pseudonym is not to garner personal or professional benefits it’s to facilitate ongoing conversation. You’ve antisocially opted out of that. No one cares to read a throwaway’s post history.
