A guide for the perplexed:
This message is by Jonathan Vos Post, who three years ago - before LW split from OB - had some comments deleted on an OB thread, and when his pals (Fellman and Sokol) showed up to confirm his existence, they were interpreted as sockpuppets and also deleted.
Evidently, he will not rest until this wrong is righted, as he has mentioned it on various blogs, in August 2007 I II III, May 2008, and February 2010, and now here in October 2010. His compadre Dr Fellman also got into the act at one time.
(I didn't know any of this fifteen minutes ago, btw. It all came from google.)
Professor Post, I doubt you will ever get an apology for having been called a fictitious entity on a blog three years ago, but be sure that we all now know that you exist.
I now sort of want to meet him. Preferably while we're both plastered.
I know him from other blogs, and it never occurred to me that ‘ProfessorPost’ was him. I am disappointed.
Jonathan: From the links cited above, I can see why you got so upset, but the comment that you posted didn't explain any of this. As written, it's unfair nonsense. Pretend that you were me reading it; what would I get from it?
PS to help in the pretence: HP:MoR Ch 1 was the first thing by EY that I ever read, and it's not very old. So that gives you an upper bound on what I could know about him, and I can assure you that I'm far from pushing it. On the other hand, you already know about how much I know about you.
