Re: discussions of "why are you still on twitter?"
Approximately 10 years ago, I ditched the original "Mr Bitterness" twitter account, even though I had a few thousand followers, as I had mostly tired of the persona, where I used to make a bunch of edgy, goofy, inappropriate jokes. It was "new" in 2008, but by that point, there were a million people doing it, and it had just run it's course. My account was promptly impersonated using my old avatar, w/a bunch of weird questionable behavior.

in the process, a lot of people I considered "friends" no longer believed I was the real original person, and I never got those followers back, and lost a lot of interaction/interest from them in music I released. As in they no longer helped boost it as we had done w/each others work in the past, etc.
Complete pain in the ass, and I'm still livid about the whole experience. Real piece of shit person who claimed to be a friend and that it was only a "joke." Motherfucker what?

what followed was several weeks of cat and mouse w/the offender before I got the account back and I was forced to basically keep the account in play, and the persona because from anyone from the outside as I bounced between the accounts, I now looked like a crazy erratic person.
I've kept it for the last 10 years, and will keep it until twitter ultimately crashes and burns. I don't really use it, and have it locked, but expect the culprit would do it again the second the handle became available
