LW has a few role-playing characters identifiable by usernames, while others don’t appear to be playing such games and don’t use speaking usernames. So “Voldemort” is likely a fictional persona tailored to the name, rather than a handle chosen to describe a real person’s character.
Correct, though I prefer to think of it as using another man’s head to run a viable enough version of me so that I may participate in the rationalist discourse here.
