Metalist: House of Cards (was1984 Foreword

[David Morris]

I grant you that a cyber-persona could take a name out of a phone book, but if
I were to call up that phone number the deceit would be revealed.  But anyone,
especially an anonymous one, who thinks that Doug is insightful, or even
somewhatb reasonable, is immediately suspect IMHO.  And Doug has been caught
playing the multiple personalities in the past.

cyber-context, a "name" like "David Morris" or "Tim Strzechowski" or "Barbara"
attached to an e-mail account is no less fictional than a "pynchonoid" or
"jbor" or "malignd."  Granting privileged credence to any post merely because a
"name" is attached to it is absurd.
