I vote for **Was Curtis LeMay that Bad?** ---

Why, at a supposed 13 or so years of age, would you consider changing it to **Sober Alcoholic**? I’m assuming you don’t drink(much), so, what’s up? ---

Actually I like “ **Keep Curtis LeMay** ” in that incarnation ---

I voted for Richard Nixon, but I changed my mind. I actually like **Keep Curtis Lemay** better. I know what you really meant, but I think you should change it to that. I’d also nominate **Headless Body of Agnew** , if it isn’t already taken. ---

Just keep the current one. For whatever reason, it irritates the shit out of me when users change their screen names. ---

Oh… another thing… I just noticed this post from you, **Keep** (sorry, I mean **Curtis** ;)): > [@Curtis LeMay](#): > > Good suggestions but I as a Korean-American can never take the username of a Japanese empire-builder whose actions led to the annexation of Korea. Ahhhhhh… so is that why you currently have the username of a guy who fire-bombed the shit out of Japan, rendering hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians into crispy-critters? Maybe you should change your username to: **Kill All The Fuckin’ Nihonjin** ---

Keep Curtis, because you remind me of the kid in Fallout 2’s Vault City that has the Mr. Nixon doll. ---

> [@Boyo\_Jim](#): > > Really good question. The real Curtis Lemay was a war-mongering lunatic, and the present incarnation is… oh, well, wrong forum. 😛 That’s why I ask. He’s been totally fine with having a war-mongering lunatic as his nom de plume until now, so I figured it must be something else prompting the change. ---

That would require there be two Curtis LeMays and that’s a violation of board rules. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-should-my-new-username-be/531678.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-should-my-new-username-be/531678.md?page=4)
