Hey, I realize I came across completely like I was trying to out you. My bad. That's not what I was trying to do. I was wrong.
Don't worry, chief.  I didn't take it the wrong way or anything.  If there is some prohibition against multiple forum IDs, it is not posted in a place that is either obvious or intuitive.  That's all I was attempting to point out.  As to why I use multiple forum handles...
That is because of dual faction membership.  I no longer associate ANY characters with this forum ID.  This is my generic posting ID that I try to use on any open forum.  Sometimes I forget when I'm logged in as Moldran, though, and post under that ID on open forums.
I don't associate characters with a forum ID, if they are only part of a tribunal or religion.  If I have a character that joins a cabal, I create a new forum ID with the name of that character so I can see the forums for the factions he joined.
Why?
To prevent the appearance of impropriety.
If I associate all my characters with the Finneyownzu ID then I will have access to a single cabal forum, but multiple tribunal and religion forums.  I don't like that since my cabal character will always be my main and I don't want to even see much less have access to other tribunal/religion forums that might be at odds or at war with my main.
