Doris: The short answer to your question is no. An online identity is the creation of its author. I can be one thing on one board and something else on another. The subject and context have a lot to do with it.
I assume that English is your native tongue, but if it isn't, that may explain why you are unable to see that with the above post I was simply trying to be funny. This film obviously has an enormous amount of serious psychoanalytic theories out there already, and rather than add one more layer of seriousness to the discussion, I chose the opposite.
As for my sig, you are obviously unfamiliar with the film Rosemary's Baby.
You see? There is more in heaven and earth than can be dreamed in the philosophy of the consistent self. But attempting to apply it, as you have, can be educational even if the only lesson you learn from it is that you were mistaken. And to think I took you for a mystic!

"you seem to think that on this Board
it will engender hilarious laughter."
It may seem so to you, but I think no such thing. One can try to be humorous without expecting that anyone will actually laugh at one's joke. If a bad joke falls in a forest, at least the joker is there to enjoy the sound of his own joke. The internet is a pretty silent place, actually, when you think about it.
I wonder what you would think if I were still posting on the Jenna Jameson (pornography) board -- as I did, prodigiously, about a year ago?
My point is that there is something unseemly about one poster following another to his other hangouts -- and policing him on how he deports himself there -- as if IMDb is a small town rather than a metropolis. If you had, say, a secretly gay co-worker who preferred to keep his orientation a secret, wouldn't it be in bad taste to lie in wait for him outside a gay bar? Same difference.
If you want to disagree with WHAT I post, do so. But it's in bad form to try and recontextualize or decontextualize a POSTER, unless you want to become known as that most distasteful of IMDb pests, i.e. a stalker.
