Oh, you.

Considering the crux of my comment was the fact that the username was only 9 days old and so therefore couldn't possibly have experienced the repost, then yes, it would have mattered. My opinions on reposts are mixed and that is abundantly clear from discussions I've had on the topic. My umbrage was derived from looking at an account that appeared to be jumping on a bandwagon in order to pander to a certain crowd by commenting on the nature of a repost that that account clearly could not have experienced. So yes. Assuming you are ando as well, yes it absolutely would have made a difference. There's behavior that looks like shilling for approval, and there's behavior that looks reasonable based on the context, aka in this scenario, the age of the account.

I should've guessed from the damn animated GIFs.

Like, if you want to be treated like a stranger, delete your old account and start a new one. But if you don't want to be, then don't. There are consequences for deleting your online personality and one of them is that we're all going to act like we don't know you any more until you blow your cover. You're going to get treated like a newb again.
