trick here.. create different chrome profiles, with different color schemes. Peach is my "nice person" account. Red is for accounts that I want to be a little more argumentative.

I do this at work too.. where I have to have different user profiles to emulate working as an admin, staff, client, sub-client. Blue seems adminny :)

I do a similar thing with my terminal emulator: Different background colours in PuTTY depending on which server it's connected to. Green for Dev, red for Prod...

This happens a lot with viral-bait accounts. One of the top posts on the UFO board just got caught sockpuppeting this week.
