A comment on Doktor Howl vs TGRR
Doktor Howl:
Just a quick note: While posting in this sub-forum, I use the moniker "Doktor Howl", rather than "TGRR", because I think differently using the Dok moniker. This isn't to imply that I have MPS or any such rubbish...It's just that I have developed two somewhat different reality tunnels, that are useful for different things.
It's a useful way of getting a second opinion on a subject, or looking at something in a different way. It also requires self-training, of course, as anyone who remembers "Dok's" early history (TGRR in a lab smock)...However, the two reality tunnels grow more distinct over time, without the hassle of turning into Sibyl.
Interesting note: As TGRR, I don't drink to speak of, and smoke like a fiend. As Dok Howl, I drink a lot more, and smoke less (when I'm not actually drinking). As TGRR, I am moodier and less social, and as Dok Howl, I'm typically in a manic state, and very approachable.
But again, let me stress that these aren't two different personalities...Just different filters I use to view the world. Different lenses, so to speak.
Okay for now,
Dok
Jasper:
I get it. Reminds me of how sometimes I wear a social psychologist hat, and my take on everything is sort of detached and inhuman, and sometimes I wear a joker hat, and everything becomes warped and hilarious.
LMNO:
I do the same thing, I'm just not sure I label them as distinctly. "LMNO visiting parents", "LMNO at work", "LMNO at the Gay Bar" are fairly distinct personalities. I suppose I treat them as environmetal contexts.

-apparently more reactive than once believed.
Jasper:
I've held for a while now that most of personality does not take place in a vacuum, but in contexts. TGRR has a somewhat different context than Dok howl. Most people don't have names to go with different situations, but it's probably a good idea.
