Up until about six or eight hours ago, I had a different nickname. (MercilessLer, in case you were curious) As I mention in my post to the welcome forum, it was a nickname formed in my late teenage years that didn't really apply any more.
As I re-evaluated, I knew I wanted to move from "Ler" to "Switch", since I have come to enjoy being tickled. MercilessSwitch didn't have the right ring to it, and I have been increasingly frustrated with some of the attitudes and perspectives here on the forum. They seemed to lack realism. Thus, I am now the RealisticSwitch.
