Related: About this forumCan I change my userid?
In 2005 I joined DU officially after lurking for years. I chose the innocent (except for the slight druggie references) seeming moniker of Tea and Oranges. Besides who doesn't love Leonard Cohen? Once I even told a small poetry magazine for my bio info that I had 7 children named Leonard.
OK, fast forward to the effing tea party. My computer crashed, burned, & got replaced. I still visited DU daily, but I'd lost my password & was feeling a little odd about my userid. The media & the Baggers turned Tea into something I didn't want to be associated with. Also, w/ my low post count & Tea in my name I feared getting identified as one of the stealth gop-ers trying to mess w/ DU.
Never much of a poster, I've discovered that now there's things I want to say. Can you help a long-term member of the community to be more a part of community? Can I please become Tea-less.
Apologies to Leonard!

With so few posts you have little to lose.
