How dare you misrepresent yourself this way?!?!? :)<br /><br />Flavia - You know what's funny? The reason I mentioned this first on Fb is because I actually have less need to be accountable under my real life identity (because I'm in no way important in real life) than I do under my blog identity (where I'm still not exactly super important, but where I do have a voice with a wider daily reach). I was so irritable at first, that my initial response was basically an ad hominem attack - one I felt completely comfortable making under my own name to friends but not as Dr. Crazy. I wonder what critics would make of that.<br /><br />And as for your complaint? Yep, I totally agree.Dr. Crazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12457967076373916629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-5352709885129903982009-06-16T14:11:32.135-04:002009-06-16T14:11:32.135-04:00(Was about to comment on your Fb page, but decided...(Was about to comment on your Fb page, but decided to do it here--which proves something, I think, about how permeable the boundaries between the pseudonymous and nymous really are!)<br /><br />I was bored reading this, too, for all the reasons you note--but esp. because Soltan seems weirdly oblivious to the fact that ALL BLOGGERS are exposed in the sense that they gain or lose readers solely on the strength of their writing. Indeed, a case could be made that it's more difficult--and thus more of an achievement--for pseudonymous bloggers to gain a readership than nymous ones, because no one's Googling for them or attracted by their reputation or presence in another field.Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-83580249284068790632009-06-16T14:08:12.137-04:002009-06-16T14:08:12.137-04:00Sometimes I forget that GayProf isn't my real ...Sometimes I forget that GayProf isn't my real name.GayProfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289510184782252498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099192.post-26048015768153113212009-06-16T13:40:12.876-04:002009-06-16T13:40:12.876-04:00This might interest you - The Times outed yet anot...This might interest you - <a href="http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/the_web/article6509677.ece" rel="nofollow">The Times outed yet another blogger</a>.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15542056485910102201noreply@blogger.com
