Howlin, that post by Sam was critical of me for announcing to the forum (shortly after recieving word from our mutual friend) that the Howlin posting to Reunion was a fake!
He regarded the fake Howlin to be real and wanted her thread summarily yanked on that basis.
I believed it to be fake (ie I believed you though our mutual friend) and was inclined to let it stand as hilarious parody.
Those who believed it was really you (such as Sam Spade) disagreed and wanted it pulled (for the sheer pleasure of censoring a Guilder). Get it?
In any case, all issues and controversies were resolved by the end of that afternoon but for one: the forum remained divided as to whether HOWLINFR was fake or real. But, HOWLINFR was banished and her attacks deleted. It did not happen two days later as you implied.
I know. I know. I'm still a low-down dirty rotten liar. (sigh)
Really? Did you notice the time on his post?

My initial instincts were that HOWLINFR was a parody of the worst aspects of Guilder-think. But, after going through and carefully excising her personal attacks, I am now no longer certain. There was an intensity of passion in her posts which would be difficult to fake. So, I offer the question up to the forum as a whole. Do you think HOWLINFR was the REAL Howlin or a Guilder parody? I look forward to hearing opinions, arguments, and evidences on this question from all concerned. So, let the debate continue!
Now, how could Sam have been critical of you for announcing to the forum (shortly after recieving word from our mutual friend) that the Howlin posting to Reunion was a fake -- when you hadn't done that at all?
