In my case LP is a happy place where I can post in Plan Pen or Community. I log onto LP for entertainment....not debate. I am a very well-informed person who keeps up on almost all political issues, both controversial and not. If I am going to debate someone I will do it in person.....not from behind a computer screen. Anyway.....I felt a name change was in order.

I kind of felt like I was being made fun of for using "2oon" in my name. Maybe people are thinking that I have nothing but air in my head because I refer to my kids as 2oonlets and myself as Mrs. 2oon. I'm actually a pretty serious and well informed person. Kar2oonman, on the other hand, is a very successful artist who makes a living and supports a family by drawing cartoons. Stupid reason but it's why I changed names.

Personally, I find the name absolutely delightful. >>I'm actually a pretty serious and well informed person. << Of that, I don't think anyone here has any doubt. But, if you think you'll be more comfortable this way... Welcome home, ReadingMom! A rose by any other name...

If that means a change in name I'm behind you 100%. I'm so sorry that some low life took the name of 2oon in vain. You are such a wonderful individual and don't deserve it. The world is a much brighter place outside of WE. Don't let them bring you down.
