I refer you to the board rules on this board's home page. Specifically Rule 2.

If you are trying to communicate with me or other board members, I suggest you build a posting history. I don't bother to read posts under new handles these days. I just delete the posts as soon as I see them and ban the handle. So the date you start posting matters.

Looking at your posting history is the second thing I do. See that number of posts on your posting history. If it says 1 or some other small number, your post isn't going to survive and I am not going to read it. So whatever bile you need to relieve yourself of, sorry, but you might as well vomit into the wind. The only one that is involved in the communication is you. Not communication. Eunuchation.

See the problem you have. Being heard isn't as easy as minting a new handle. To make a point and have me read it, you have to persuade me to open your post. That's what we in the business call my choice, not yours.

The price of entry to my eyeballs is the investment of your time and effort. The price of entry is to develop a posting history. You don't get to waste my time by polluting this board with your posts free of charge. I am not interested in what a freshly minted poster has to say. I will just auto delete your unread post. It's a tough love approach.

So you are wasting your time using newly invented handles. Works some places. Not here. If you have the cojones, you will post under your usual handle. Maybe you will even dare to do this new thing called making a coherent argument on ihub and risk being made to look foolish if it turns out your idea of coherence turns to mush on inspection. Or you will invest much, much more of your time in writing posts under a new handle so you have something to lose if you post here.

See the point is, the burden is on you to invest and risk wasting your time, not on me to read posts by dull-witted, needy, attention-seeking, angry people who are too afraid to share their usual handle.

Unless of course you are already banned. In which case you shouldn't be posting here, right!
