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.

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?
