Having been a long term name changing MNer but also a user of other forums for many years, I've always pondered on this one. On MN, the netiquette seems to be that you don't bring up previous threads/posts on a current discussion. I understand that it's frowned upon to use minute details as a stick to beat people with but what if it's relevant? I'm going to use a random example that hopefully is not too emotive. Imagine there is a person posts prolifically on school threads, stating that they are anti-home education and they post it so often, that they're on every thread and they are known for their views for years. On another thread, they casually mention that they've been home educating for 10 years. Would it be bad form to say something on the current thread?
I'm just curious. On other forums, there is a casual approach to this but on MN, it seems to be less common.
